Description of how to implement in the class:
The students will use the Sway in conjunction with a packet of documents from the Christian Holy
Bible and the Muslim Qur’an. The Sway will be used to compile the facts of the two religions but also
the students comparing and contrasting the two. The students will create a section over the basic
history of the Christianity and Islam and designate two sections: similarities and differences. This
activity will allow the students to use the document packet as their evidence for this and allow them
to see how similar the two religions can be at times since they share a similar origin in Judaism.
Moreover, the students will include pictures representing the religions, seeing their holy symbols,
holy sites, and places of worship.
Level of Technology Implementation (LoTi): This lesson has a LoTi 3 because the students are
using technology to compare and contrast Christianity and Islam; they are analyzing the two holy
texts to determine these similarities and differences, as well as using their previous knowledge of
when they took notes upon Islam for this unit and Christianity in the previous unit.
Description of the sample spreadsheet and graph/chart provided *:
The example provided is on the history of Islam. This will be used in class as an example of a Sway for
the students and serve as their note resource on Islam. In my example, there are pictures in
slideshows, grids, and the stack. This is to show off its various functions for the students. In addition,
the information is broken down into sections.
