7.+Student+Activity+Guide

Adventurers - Let the quest begin!

 This is your page, where you will find directions and the steps that you will follow for this project. Day 1 starts next week, January 10th. We will have a brief discussion on religion and introduce the 5 major religions. On the same day, we will introduce any unfamiliar technology so that you may become experts and have no trouble with the project. Days 2, 3, and 4 January 11th - 13th, are Research Days! Here you will begin researching, completing your graphic organizers, and wikis. Days 4 and 5, January 14th and 17th are for you to create your powerpoint; otherwise, the person in charge of the powerpoint must complete it at home. Days 6 and 7, January 18th - 19th, are Presentation Days!

 You will also have easy access to websites and documents created for the activities. After our discussion and introduction to religion, you are to complete these tasks in order, please.


 * Follow these instructions in order: **

 1. Click on the document to see which group the teacher has placed you into and sit by your group to begin the research process. 

 2. Login to the Religion Hot Spot wiki. Religion Hot Spot

 There will be more information once on the Religion Hot Spot wiki that you must read and follow those directions. You will be filling out the information listed on your groups' wiki and you can only use the website that the teacher has provided you to complete your research. The link is on the home page of the class wiki and the teacher will list them on here as well. [|World Religions Website]

 3. You will need to take notes on your religion, so that you can design a graphic organizer online. This graphic organizer will allow you to organize all of the information you found in your own creative way. You can group specific information by your choice, instead of using the wiki outline. This can provide further help in preparation for your presentation. You can access the website using the following link: [|Graphic Organizer Website]

 After you have completed the graphic organizer, you must show it to the teacher in order to receive points and move onto the next step.

 4. Once you have the teacher's approval, you may go back and edit your group wiki for your religion. Make sure, once you are done to show the teacher before starting on the creating your powerpoint presentation. **The wiki is due January 13th no later.**

 5. For the outline process of your presentation, you must use the following documents so that you can present an A+ presentation!
