Mr. J and Ms. Dub's blog

Today, we began our first unit on Religion: Unity vs. Conflict. Students brainstormed first independently; and then with a partner ideas on how religion can bring people together and tear them apart. After we analyzed images of religion causing unity and conflict. Students interpreted the images and explained their views.

Lastly, students were to have binders and their signed contract in today. Staying organized is crucial for our class and a binder definitely helps.

2 worksheets, each worth 4 points, and the warm up for 4 points. Total of 12 points for today!

On Friday, 8/21, we analyzed 6 pictures. We made our own interpretations bout the images. After discussion, we realized how different people interpreted the pictures. Some saw birds, some saw rabbits and others saw oceans. Nevertheless, students realized because of perspective and point of view people can see objects and ideas differently. Interpretation and Perspective were also defined as a class.

Worksheet was worth 6 points. And first warm up was collected, 4 points.
