Class Notes

Friday 13 January 2012
After starting our notes on the differences between Judaism, Islam, and Christianity in history, we completed them in Literature.  We looked again at Saladin to see where what we learned in History coinsided with the book, supported the book or if they were at odds.  The book paints a pretty picture of Islam, which is important in our development of our own beliefs.  Books like this, I believe, help us to strengthen what we hold as true.  Just keep those notes for now because we will refer to them at a later date.  Keep the Apostle's Creed and the Nicene Creed with those notes, please.
 I hope all of you turned in the rough drafts on the Women in China as well as your final copies of Shintoism vs. Christianity and the Pope's clothes.  I will get those back to you on Tuesday.

Remember to order the next 2 books:  Arabian Nights and Son of Charlemgne.

Your assignments are:

1.Pg. 165:29C: #1: Google Kaaba.  When you find a site with the most information, answer the questions in the activity.  If there is more information on the topic of the question, write that also.  While you are on that site, get a photocopy of the Kaaba.  Then, with the "notes" you took, write a final copy descriptive paper on the Kaaba.  It is one paragraph long and one page, typed, single space, starting at the top after you type your name, date, and subject.  If you write it, it must be in blue or black ink, and a page and 1/2.  This paper is a final copy, no mistakes.  Have someone proofread it for you before you decide you are through, please!  Don't forget to attach your photocopy of the Kaaba to your final copy.
2. Order the next 2 books.
