Today we had a pretty good class.We started out with a sub because Mr.Schick  was out for the first mod of class. So, the sub came in and got Darien’s labtop to hook up to the smart board and watch the movie. When we started watching it we heard noice in the background from and add. So we went through a big ordeal to try and get it off but it never worked. Then Parker said the day when she let us use her computer to finish the video. After the video was over Mr.Schick  came and we talked about cars for the second mod of cars.

Class Work 10/12/12

In class today, you will do a mini-research project.  Take these five key religions - Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Judaism - and answer these questions about each one.

• When and where was this religion founded?
• Is it monotheistic or polytheistic?
• If they have a holy book, what is it?
• How many followers does this religion claim?
• Who is the central figure of this religion?
• What is the geographical concentration of this religion?

Christianity:
Christianity was a religion that was founded in the middle of the first century. It was founded in the middle east. Christianity is a monotheistic religion. That means that they only believe in one savior  There one savior is God. Everything about God is shown through the Christian's holy book. This book is called the "Bible". There are many people who fallow this religion. I know because 2.2 billion people are Christians, which is the largest religion. The central figure of this religion is Jesus. Christianity is found in many country's. However, it is practiced the most in the United States.
 Islam:
The Islam religion was started by an angel in 610 AD. It was founded at a certain place because it was founded when Adam was born.
