Easy Bib Chrome Extension

I mentioned in class today an extension from Easy Bib that you can add to Google Chrome. It will allow you to judge a website as well as get the citation for it. Click here for a link to it. This will not work in other web browsers like Firefox and Safari.

Need help choosing a religion for your project?

If you are looking for some help in deciding what religion you would like to examine for your project, the BBC Religions website will be a great resource to help you decide. It will also help you learn more about your religion once you have decided your focus.

It's almost the end of the quarter!

We've got one week to go until the end of the quarter. I believe as of the end of school on Friday your grades are up to date so check them out on Powerschool. If you have any questions about them feel free to e-mail me. If you want to make up some of your missing work, you can access all the Religions unit work by clicking here.

Maps of the Holy Land

Many of you in your work with On Tour with Jesus Christ have asked about the location of various events. I've put two maps in the Religions Resources that will give you a better idea of where places are located in Jerusalem  and the Middle East.

This week's homework

First off, I want to say I'm impressed by the number of people who have gotten ahead on the homework assignments that are due this week. For those of you who haven't started, don't forget you have the Muhammad Acronym and the Sacred Semitic Stories due this week.

Sacred Stories Link

If you click here, you can access the Sacred Stories website. Remember you can turn in stories any time between now and your due dates.

Automated Calendar reminders

There seemed to be some positive reaction to automated reminders for our class calendar that is featured on this page. I have shared the calendar with all of you(you should have gotten an e-mail about it) which means that you will get reminders soon. If you want to set up your phone to receive text messages, click here for instructions on how to do that. Please let me know if you are planning on using the text message notifications so I can add them to our calendar.

The Golden Rule

Since I asked all of you about the Golden Rule in the past lesson on our Religious Literacy Quiz, I thought I would provide you with this graphic on how different religions interpret the Golden Rule. You can click here to get a larger version of the image.

Enjoy your weekend everyone.

Our first day back

Thanks to M1 and M2 for a great first day back. I think we had great discussions about religion and are off to a great start to our unit.

Remember those of you looking for posts on Twitter about our class should search for the hashtag #Raby9WH.

Welcome Back!

Don't forget that tomorrow is a Maroon Day. It was pretty cold inside TA today during our Teacher Workshop so make sure you dress warmly for class. I'm really looking forward to getting back in the classroom with all of you,
