Classwork for a Friday

As we continue to discuss cultural geography, we turn our attention to religion.

In class today, you will do a mini-research project.  Take these five key religions - Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Judaism - and answer these questions about each one.

  • When and where was this religion founded?
  • Is it monotheistic or polytheistic?
  • If they have a holy book, what is it?
  • How many followers does this religion claim?
  • Who is the central figure of this religion?
  • What is the geographical concentration of this religion?
Take your answers and write them in paragraph form in your blog.  This assignment is worth 30 points, and if you don't finish it in class, it is due by midnight Saturday night.

Hope to see you Monday.
