Comparing World Religions

Recently we have been discussing the major world religions that originated from the Middle East- Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Combined they are followed by approximately half the world's population and continue to grow in numbers.

In class our stated objective for this unit was as follows:
"Compare and contrast the three major religions of the Middle East region- Judaism, Christianity, and Islam."

For extra credit, complete a 200 word essay comparing and contrasting the three religions.
Use your graphic organizers (chart and triagram) from class to complete the essay. Essays should be neatly written or typed and have minimal grammar and spelling mistakes to receive credit.

Credit will be given in the form of two replacement daily grades. Essays are due no later than Wednesday, March 6th.

*Students that were not part of the Religious Celebrations project are not eligible to complete the extra credit. They were required to do the essay as a replacement grade for the project.
