Choose a
world
religion that IS NOT Christianity*
from the graphic organizers in the attached
file, and use the questions provided in the matrix of that
religion
to guide you in writing a 2 pages double-spaced
essay in which you:
demonstrate an understanding of the geopolitical (power, empire) landscape in which the
religion
was founded
how the vision of the founder(s) was influenced by and also challenged the existing traditions
and power hierarchy
of that time and place.
Remember, the main idea is that youre writing about a
religion
in a HISTORY CLASS.** You dont need to answer every question in order to do well, they are only there to guide you.
You should cite
at least one scholarly source
in any format cited within the paper, and then listed at the end in works cited.*Since Christianity was the model given in the lesson on the topic,
you must choose another religion, even though I have included the graphic organizer for Christianity in the attached document to help you get a sense of what you are supposed to do.
**
You wont get an A if you write a basic summary. You need analysis.One way to do this is to connect forward through history with that
religion . for example, We did this by comparing the original teaching of Jesus to Christianity today, and also by connecting
the Roman empire to the U.S. empire today. Use the discussion board and then youre getting participation points while youre getting help with the assignment at the same time!
Source ideas.
jstor, get scholarly sources from the bottom of wikipedia pages and by googling the names of historians that speak on videos to find their books,
books.google.com,
you cant use a video as a source but you can search the historians names that come up, also the video has great info! Here are some helpful videos, depending on your choice:
Life of Buddha
(BBC),
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeVZDt6WewE)
Islam: Empire of Faith (PBS),
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbVQfZpdHaM)
