We are nearing the end of another unit and of course we are doing another blog post. The unit we are doing is all about world religions and worldview. Through this unit I have learned a fair bit about a many of the reiligions in the world.
As part of the final project we had to create a slideshowish presentation of what makes our worldview. We also had to include our understanding of some vocabulary that we learned during this unit.
Before I began production on the actually slideshow I looked at what the big factors of my life are and how those things affect how I make decisions and have opinions. After a lot of thought I determined that the biggest things for me are scouts, books, school, my family and the movies I watch. After that I wrote a script and put together my visuals. I ended up trashing most of my script and just said my opinions and described my passions but it was the visuals that I struggled with the most. I put together what I thought was enough but I needed a whole lot more. I spent about 4 hours one night just finding most of the images and recording my slideshow. When it was all done I handed it in.
We then created a rubric as a class and so I had to go back and edit it. Here is the final product.
I must say I really enjoyed this unit and I learned a lot about various religions and I also learned a bit about myself and how I make sense of the world.
