Religious Texts/Teachings
The source documents related to a particular religion, and important to the students and
practitioners of that particular religion, will be provided in English translations. Religious texts
and manuscripts were written in languages specific to the historical era and geographic
location of those who participated in the religions.
Historical/Archaeological Documentation
Since religions are closely related to historical events and people, historical perspectives and
archaeological evidence can often give background information that can help understand a
religion.

Commentaries/Annotated Text
Much of religious literature is written in a way that is sometimes hard to understand. Literary
devices, poetic form, and other written text conventions make it necessary to determine if the
presented content is to be taken literally or as a figure of speech. Commentaries and other
textual clarifying aids can help one understand what is meant in context.

Timelines of Religious Events
By using timelines, one can view historical events and details about when and why things
happen. Religions are not static. Ideas and practices change. A timeline can easily show
major developments and changes in religious ideologies and significant historical figures.
Current Statistics and Demographics
To see the effects of current trends on religious participation and growth, viewing statistics
and demographics can help one understand how present-day populations accept religions
and change their ideals.

Many of the tools used in this course will either be inserted into the
curriculum content or directly linked to safe outside sources.-
The different tools mentioned above point to the fact that studying religions should be taken
from a variety of academic approaches. Watch the following video that explains how religions
should be studied through an interdisciplinary approach.

T - Tool:
Student-created tool(s) for studying the content presented. For example, student
notes, timelines, graphic organizers (hand-drawn or computer-facilitated), Cornell Notes,
annotated notes, or other notetaking systems.
L - List:
A list of outside sources other than those presented in the lesson provided the
student with more insight into the learning, including videos, web pages, books, and other
sources. This should be at least three references, but less than six.
D - Definitions:
The student should list definitions for each
bolded
word for up to ten bolded
words. If ten are not presented, the student should select the remaining words. The
definition should be in the student's own words.
R - Recap:
The student should summarize what was learned in no more than one page,
including lessons learned and themes presented in the lessons. Opinions can be presented.
However, they must be backed up with factual statements from either the sources from
L -
List
or the lesson text using MLA format.
These will be uploaded in one file to the assignment in that week and will comprise learning
from all prior lessons up to that point.
The study of religion is a multifaceted endeavor. During this course, religions will be
examined from various angles to give the student a bigger perspective on those
religions. Having and using appropriate tools will help the effort.
