Students- World Cultures Book, pencil, three different highlighters, notebook paper, previous notes, colored pencils. Introducing the Lesson: 1. In previously assigned groups have the students work with their group to write what they think the top 6 religions are in the world. 6 minutes maximum. 2. Ask a spokesperson in each group to read there guesses aloud. 3. Tell them that the 6 main religions are Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and Confucianism. 4. Tell the class that today we will be looking at Judaism and Christianity today, Islam and Buddhism tomorrow, and Hinduism and Confucianism the next day with a simple multiple choice test the day after.

Instructional Procedure: 1. Have a student pass out the worksheet while asking the others to take out there notes.

2. Point out to the students the first two columns on the worksheet. One labeled Judaism, and the other labeled Christianity. Tell the students to highlight them each with a different color. 3. Have the students open their books to page 563 and read the Find Out Concepts/Objectives. Have the students write down the vocabulary words without the definitions on the top of their notes page. Use designated highlighter for vocabulary to highlight the definition as notes are taken. 4. With the PowerPoint go over the notes about The Kingdom of Israel, Teachings of Judaism, Rise of Christianity, Spread of Christianity and sub-points. 5. Ask students to raise their hands and tell me the definitions of the previously stated vocabulary words. 6. Have the student work in their groups. Have the students use their notes to fill out the column worksheets. If the students do not finish the two columns in class it is homework with a completion grade taken at the beginning of class tomorrow.

Modifications for Special Needs Students: 1. I will use the microphone for students who are not able to hear me, and I will use large print for student with vision impairments. Also, if students would like a printed out copy of the notes, or if they missed class, there will be copies of the assignments and notes in the make-up binder. 2. Questions, or concerns, that students are unable to express in class are encouraged to find me before school in my office or after school in my classroom before 4pm. Assessment: 1. As the students are working in their groups I will observe the students to see who is participating in there groups and I will as questions to each group as I walk around the room. I will also answer questions at this time. 2. I will have the student use the color they selected at the beginning of the period to use for each column and have the students highlight there notes using the same two colors for the two topics. Closure: 1. Before the class is over get the students attention one more time to remind them about getting the homework done if they didnt finish it in class, about the test in two days, and tell them to read pages 569-579 and remind the students that the class is easier when the chapters are read ahead of time. (I am not expecting the student to actually do this but it is a good way to remind them what we will be covering the next day.) 2. I will also go over the assignments and have the students fill out their planners.
