I have extended the due dates for the Religion Project:
For A day students, the project is due on Monday, September 20.
For B day students, the project is due on Friday, September 17.
****However, I would like for the students to go ahead and turn the projects in as soon as possible. Therefore, if you turn in your project on the original due date (Thursday for A day classes and Wednesday for B day classes), you will receive bonus points.

Religions Essay
Due: Monday, Sept 13 (for B day classes) / Tuesday, Sept 14 (for A day classes)
Assignment: You will need your completed Venn Diagram. Use the information that you learned about the different religions to explain the similarities and differences between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
For example, "All three religions are similar because each religion has a holy book. However, the books are different for each religion. Jews read the Torah, Christians read the Bible, and Muslims read the Koran."
