Hi everyone! Today I am talking about a Exhibition I did in school just before winter break. In the exhibition we presented the learning we had done for the past 4 months. This Exhibition was only for students in a program I’m doing called PLP.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We had been learning about religion for the past few months and went on a few field studies to different religious places of worship. Our goal for these field studies were so that we can experience and understand different perspectives, and ways that religion is expressed in day to day life, to answer our driving question. Our main driving question was; “How is religious worldview represented in the real world?” For those of you who may not know, worldview is basically your view on the world, through your experiences, and how/where you grew up.

Somethings that we had at the exhibition was a poster that we created, a photo documentary of field studies we went on to learn about religions, food from our religion, and an activity that we created that helps the audience understand the religion.

In our exhibition, we were divided into groups of around 6 and were each assigned a religion that we talked about. My group( Liam, Zoe, Angelo, Noah) had the religion, Hinduism. Each person had to make a photo documentary using photos that we took on the field studies. They all had to be photos that we either took ourselves, or someone in our class took. The photo documentary was supposed to be like a summary of our field studies expressed using little to no words, while still being able to show the differences and similarities of the religions. We also showed a poster that we made that shows 7 aspects of worldview.

We then had to bring food to put out for our audiences, that is used in our religion in some way. The food that my group chose was naan bread, which is often eaten inn festivals and celebrations, due to the fact that Hinduism originated in India.

i think that the actual chi bit ion itself helped me summarize in my mind what we had learned and doing that made it easier to tell my knowledge to other people. I think that the process was really fun because I’m sure we all learned a lot and we are not only able to talk about at least 1 religion in depth, but we can also say how that effects other religions and other people. This was something I couldn’t have done before this unit.
