HWC Day 61- South Asia Relgions

Objectives:  Examine the religious and philosophical traditions that have shaped the cultures of South Asia

Task:  We'll start class with the "Breaking Free" reading comprehension quiz.  When you've finished the quiz, please take it to the back of the room and pick up the research essay reflection description and rubric.  Read through this while you wait for your classmates to finish.  After the quiz, I'll spend a few minutes explaining the research essay.  Then, each group will spend some time presenting their research  on the religions of South Asia.  We'll finish class with a religions comprehension check on the Moodle.
