What I've learned...

Next year, I am teaching an 8^th grade comparative religions class.  I feel that this is the perfect age group to try out what I’ve learned in the fellowship.  I will be creating a webquest that I will start the year off with.  Through the webquest, students will learn the basic beliefs of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.  After being taught the origin of the three religions, students will be grouped and assigned one of the religions.  The task assigned will be to find out the connection each of the three religions have with Jerusalem.  Each group will then present that information to the class by creating a movie trailer (or another option by choosing from the technology they are familiar with).  These trailers (or other presentations) can be used on the schools website to encourage future classes to attend 8^th grade.  At our congregation, enrollment tends to drop off after bar/bat mitzvah years.  The key technologies I would use are the iMovie (movie & trailer options), a webquest, green screen and any other technologies that the students are interested in using.

Here is my outline of my project:
