Sept 20/21: Investigating Religious Conflict between two religions

Helpful Resources to guide your formative research throughout this document:

• Link to Religious Conflict Presentation (Google Slides)
• Research & Notetaking Skills Tips (Google Slides with tutorial videos)

Today you will choose to investigate conflict that has occured between two religions (or alternatively, two sects/branches of the same religion). This could be a historical conflict that has already been resolved or ongoing conflict that has occurred at different times in history in one or more place in the world between these two belief systems and the followers of this religion. 

There is a document placed in your World History Drop folder titled "Formative Religious Conflict - Research Notes Template". You will use this document to help guide your investigation into conflict(s) that have occurred between two belief systems. 

You are encouraged to choose to focus on conflict that has occurred with the religion that you have already researched through group research. This will help you prepare for the summative as some of the notes and sources from this formative investigation may be used towards your summative research and essay.
​
HW/Prep: Continue working on the research and note-taking portion of this document. It is important that you be prepared to participate as this is the last formative and opportunity for feedback prior to beginning the summative next week.
We will continue working on this briefly during the next class. But the majority of next class time will be focusing on drawing conclusions and outlining for a 5-paragraph essay. You do NOT need to write an essay for this. We are simply practicing and thinking about how you would construct and organize an essay based on your research results/conclusion. 

This formative will not be recorded in Powerschool as a grade. Instead, you will partner with another student during next class time and give peer feedback to each other on your organization of notes and your organization of a 5-paragraph essay outline. It is important that you be prepared to participate as this is the last formative and opportunity for feedback prior to beginning the summative next week.

SUMMATIVE INQUIRY and ESSAY begins Sept 26/27. All summative work for research notes, and summative explanatory essay is due no later than Friday, October 7th.
