Standard 1
Students will understand how ancient civilizations developed and how they contributed to the current state of the world.

Objective 2: Evaluate how religion has played a central role in human history from ancient times to today.

Identify key tenets of the major world religions (i.e. Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism).

I believe that this will be a fun topic for the students. Exploring different cultures and religions will be enhanced by the use of google earth because it will heighten their understanding of where these religions are prominent geographically.
