Understanding Major Middle Eastern Religions: A Study of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism

This interactive assignment engages students in word association to explore the three major religions of the Middle East: Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. In a one-minute activity, students will write down associated words for each religion, helping them assess their prior knowledge. Following this, students will research and become experts in one religion, focusing on key concepts such as monotheism, significant texts, and core beliefs. The final task involves revising their understanding with expert input, encouraging deep learning and dialogue about shared roots and differences among these faiths.
