My Project

Seniors will embark on the journey of learning about the different religions of the world. Through this content, students will learn about the practices, scriptures, traditions, and beliefs of major world religions. At the conclusion of this learning, students will apply their learning through a traditional YA novel, The Giver. While The GIver is read in elementary, many of my students have not read this book so it will be a great exposure for senior students before they go out into the world. I have requested copies of The Giver in Spanish as well to ensure students can access the material.
