NOTE FOR ALL
Cultural sensitivity is paramount in this course but especially during this chapter
on religions. Keep this sensitivity at the front of your mind during this project.
*Special note for Islam:
It is taboo and HIGHLY offensive to draw Allah and the prophet Muhammad
Do NOT do this. Instead I suggest using Islamic calligraphy to decorate your
assignment. Please consult me before any people are drawn into your book.
*Special note for Jainism, Hinduism, and Buddhism:
Although the swastika originates with these religions, see me BEFORE you
proceed with drawing this symbol because of the Nazi connotations that are
associated with it.
