Teaching about ancient religions today was a success! I think that the students enjoyed the lesson, they had some great questions. I can’t wait to see their drawings and read their papers about their Egyptian tombs. Check out yesterday’s blog to see the PowerPoint, warm up, and assignment that we did today.
Tomorrow we will continue the history of religions unit by mapping out different religions. We will use this interactive map: http://www.mapsofwar.com/ind/history-of-religion.html to discuss where and how religions started and spread. Students will practice finding different locations using latitude and longitude as they plot important religious centers.
