What Does It Mean To Be...

Good morning period 1 Religion! 
Before we look further into what it means to be a Catholic let's take a minute to look at some other world religions and see how they compare to Catholicism. 

Your task is to choose one of the following religions:
Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Aboriginal Spirituality, or Judaism

When you know which one you'd like I want you to tweet me one fact about this religion. There can be no more than 3 people doing each religion so the first three to tweet me their fact will get to continue working with that religion.

Next you're going to create a storify. What's a storify? It's like an online story that you make from sources on the web. Your storify will revolve around the religion you have chosen.

Your storify should include: - At least 2 scholarly sources explaining the religion you chose
- 3 Youtube videos explaining or demonstrating sacraments/rites of passage/rituals in your religion
- 1 song/hymn/music used in, alongside or about their religious rituals (this may also be a youtube video)
- At least 1 photo of of the place of worship this religion utilizes and 5 photos depicting different aspects of the religion. For each of the above mentioned sources give a 2-3 sentence summary of what the source is.
- 2 positive tweets from reputable sources (a verified account) about the religion
- 2 motivational quotes about the religion and their beliefs
