9-23-09 (Inter-comparison of Major Religions)

At this point in the course several of the worlds major religions have been briefly introduced. Hindusim, Buddhism, and Judaism (Confucianism, a life philosophy, is also included in this exercise) are already becoming a significant part of the human experiece. I would like to spend today inter-comparing the three that have introduced with two that wil soon come into the students studies, those of Islam and Christianity.

Students will work in partners,divide the six religions and engage the text, their own background knowlege, and the instructor, in attaining a "C-town Lowdown" on each of the six areas. The students will then make a graphic organizer that will be utilized on a later assessment. That assessment will be part of their first exam.
