HWC Day 27 - Monotheism & FCP13-2 Wiki

Objective:  Join the FCP13-2 project wiki and FCP Diigo group in preparation.  Compare and contrast key components of monotheistic religion in the Middle East.  Identify the contributions of Islamic civilization to world cultures.

Task:  As you come into class, please get out your computer.  We'll spend the first few minutes of class joining the Flat Classroom 13-2 project wiki and the FCP Diigo group.  Although we won't be starting work on the wiki until next week, you should now be a member of all sites related to the project.

Next, we'll spend some time creating a flow chart identifying the roots of the Abrahamic religions.  Then, you'll investigate the religions as you read "Heirs of Abraham" and complete a DBQ about the Islamic contributions to civilization.

Finally, we'll use the last portion of class to begin our notes on the chronology of the region.
