The students will be able to describe and explain their chosen religions completely.
The students will be able to compare and contrast Buddhism and Hinduism or Christianity and Judaism.
Task:
As we learn about the world religions in class, we find that many of the religions share things in common.
Those same religions also have stark differences that set them apart. In this task you will choose to compare
and contrast either Buddhism and Hinduism, or Christianity and Judaism.
In this task your Venn Diagram must include the following:
1. 5 or more similarities between Buddhism and Hinduism, or Christianity and Judaism
2. 3 or more differences for both of the religions that you are covering.
a. Your differences cannot be polar opposites, meaning you cannot write one worships Jesus and one
does not worship Jesus.
3. Similarities and differences must be written in complete sentences.
4. Using the Venn diagram describe one similarity and one difference between both religions and explain why
you believe these are the most important.
Use your notes from class (religions overview), it is your best resource for this task.
Your textbook will also be a great resource.
