FALL 08 Freakishly Fun line up!
-U.S. HISTORY (Or something like it.)
-WORLD HISTORY (Probably just the first part.)
-ELECTIONS (Its that time! we might as well figure out what its all about.)
WOW we really got behind on this.
By "we" I meant "I" really got behind on this. Quick recap.
Day 12 was a research day and some students began presenting on Judaism and Christianity. This was followed by an awesome question and answer period in which our student experts showed off their incredible wealth of knowledge!
Day 13 students from the Hinduism and Buddhism groups presented quite awesomely. This was once again followed up by a question and answer period and then I took questions from the class to clear up any loose ends.
Day 14 the Islam group presented, complete with the 5 pillars of Islam and some Pictures, and this was followed by Q & A to the extreme! (okay I'm just getting cheesy.)
and research on smaller religions that continued on day 16.
Days 15 and 16 and 17, students researched and presented on such wide ranging religions as Rastafarian-ism and the Amish. They highlighted each presentation with some facts they found that were interesting to them.
Sorry for the rough wrap up... but just you wait for the fall lineup!

World Religions Day 12
*****Days 10-11 were spent working on posters and other elements for the presentations. *****
Presentations
Students in the Judaism and Christianity groups gave excellent 10-15 minute presentations today. Each presentation was followed by audience (peers) questions which tended to ignite excellent discussions on more in depth elements of the religion.
Salvation or Oppression?
After both groups had presented many of the common stereotypical arguments between the two groups were brought up and students began to critique both some of the hype surrounding the religions and some of the principles of the religions themselves. Several students felt that these religions were developed to suppress the masses, or at least that in their current form they were more oppressive than helpful.
