HELLO CLASS!

Welcome to our brand new unit on the 5 major world religions!

On this wiki, you will be able to click on the various websites you are to go onto to find information or create other assignments, such as timelines. On this journey, we will need to assign roles to everyone so that each person can contribute to this project. After figuring out who will be in charge of which position, you are to type in that persons' name in your religion's wiki page on here.

In taking on this project, each member of each group will be assigned a role as follows:


 * **Leader:** This student is in charge of keeping the entire group on task at all times and over-sees that the group completes each task on a timely manner.


 * **Recorder:** This student will be the one that writes all notes that the group finds according to their religions' wiki before putting all information into the graphic organizer.


 * **Graphic Organizer:** This student will be in charge of creating the graphic organizer with all the information and visuals that the group wants to incorporate into the organizer. This student will be the one that shows the graphic organizer to the teacher when finished.


 * **Timeline Creator:** This student will be in charge of going onto the timeline website and to create the timeline that will be checked for completion and then used as a visual aid for the presentation.


 * **Graph Creator:** This student will be the one that looks onto the websites for population growth and charts the data, so it can be used as another checkpoint and in the presentation.


 * **Map Creator:** This student will use Google Earth to find and map out the origins of each religion to be used as a checkpoint in the unit and a visual in the presentation.


 * **Presentation Organizer:** This student will be the one that drafts the presentation on the given draft sheet, provided by teacher, according to specifics of the religion.


 * **Powerpoint Creator**: This student will be putting all of the information about the religion into a powerpoint presentation that will be shared in front of the class.

On the left panel, you will find the list of the major religions. Under your specific religion you have chosen, you will find the specific information given about the religion. I have created an outline for each religion on the wiki that you will be in charge of finding. This will also help you organize the information for your final presentation.

These are the only websites for you to search for the research information.

Here is the graphic organizer website for you to use only for creating the organizer!

This is the timeline website that you will use. You may have to create two timelines in order to fit most of your dates on there.

You are to find the follower numbers for the years 1950, 1960, 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000, and 2010. You cannot use Wikipedia for any of the information.
