Study Guide!

Hi guys!

Here is the study guide for Unit 7. If you have it completed by next Tuesday (for all classes!) then I will give you three points back on your test! I will check it Tuesday at the very beginning of class. It is all or nothing, no partial credit!

Unit 7 Study Guide

Cultural Landscape Assignment

For today's homework you need to choose a pilgrimage site, such as Mecca, Vatican City, or the Western Wall, and describe how the act of pilgrimage (in some cases, by millions) alters this place's cultural landscape and environment. You need to write at least two paragraphs about your chosen site and also include at least three pictures that support your perspective of how the cultural landscape is impacted. Be sure to reference not only the site, but the city around it, inhabitants of the city, etc. 

This will be due on Tuesday for all classes except 4th hour (4th hour doesn't meet on Tuesday, it will be due on Wednesday for you all).

I tried to send this out to everyone via email but it wasn't going through.

Just an FYI, you all will have a quiz next Wednesday (1/14) over the Unit 7 material to date. That includes the Religion and Culture notes, Religion and Diffusion Notes, Five major religions worksheet, and the homework assignment that is due next Monday (7th hour) or Tuesday (everyone else).

Have a great weekend!
