Welcome to an 'Introduction to World Religions'. *You do not need to take Part 1 in order to take Part 2. Each part's content is independent of the other. In this five-week course, students will learn about five world religions: Jainism, Taoism, Sikhism, Shinto, and Confucianism. We will examine each religion in a respectful way as this class is intended to be a learning experience to help students understand the different belief systems that are popular throughout the world. It is hoped that with this course that students will be able to identify the uniqueness of each religion and how it impacts how many live their lives. In each of the classes, we will look at the history and origins behind each religion, the religious beliefs and practices their followers participate in, and celebrations or holidays unique to that religion. Students will be provided handouts that are to help guide them through each lesson if they wish to take notes. Each class will be guided with a slideshow presentation with images, videos, and discussion questions to help guide students' learning. This class is intended to be educational, and students of all knowledge levels are welcome to join, whether they know a lot or a little about the different religions. Class Schedule: Week 1: Jainism Week 2: Taoism Week 3: Sikhism Week 4: Shinto Week 5: Confucianism (We will discuss why some feel it is more of a philosophy than religion)

I am a certified teacher at the intermediate and senior level with specific qualifications in history and geography. My goal for this class is to teach students from an unbiased approach the different belief systems. My personal bias will not be a part of this class as I believe that teaching students about different religions through an unbiased lens can help them be respectful to others with different beliefs than their own. I will use a wide range of documents to support the information taught in this class to provide a thorough glance at the different religions. Reviews
