Abbey began studying world religions. We started by activating her prior knowledge and brainstormed what she already knew. We then brainstormed the "So What?", where she discovered reasons why studying world religions is an important thing to do, i.e. cultural competence, basis for legal practices, perceptions, morals/value systems, wars, etc. Abbey initiated an excellent conversation about her beliefs and questions regarding God and religious beliefs. In effort to help her gain a better understanding of the geography, origin, and distribution of world religions, we looked at the wall sized map in the dojo. She created a graphic organizer outlining the 5 major world religions, and we discussed how two religions begot two others. This information serves as a foundation for the sects we will talk about in the upcoming session. For each major world religion we discussed the population of believers, terminology such as monotheistic, and how religion influences laws, actions, and human rights.
