This lesson plan engages students in an interactive word association activity focused on Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. Participants will have one minute to jot down associated words for each faith, stimulating critical thinking and knowledge retention. Students will delve deeply into one of these three major religions, working towards expertise through research and collaboration. Utilizing a "Blue textbook," they will gather vital information, discuss commonalities and distinctions, and explore the foundational beliefs that tie these religions together, including their monotheistic nature and Abrahamic roots.
