Throughout the world there are many different religions, and all too often we don't take the time to understand other faiths outside our own. As each religion has evolved over time, many differences and similarities have risen. The purpose of this activity is to give a brief overview of multiple religions and explore a common component throughout differing beliefs- temples. Among the many different religions, a common foundation is having a place of worship, or a temple. We are going to compile information about the temples from various religions as a class. You will work in groups with 3 members. If you need an additional reference, an example is listed under the Judaism tab.

For this in-class assignment, follow the instructions below:

1. Review the material given in the text book and other sources in class on one of the religions listed on the sidebar. 2. Give a brief description of the religion. 3. Identify the unique architecture and structure of the temple, and focus on the purpose and/or beliefs illustrated in the temple of the religion you chose to research. 4. provide visual aids (pictures, videos, drawings) that can be used to clarify your description. 5. Upload your description and additional information onto the website. 6. Each person must make 3 comments on projects from other groups. At least 2 comments must be on projects on religions other than the one you focused on.
