You've been doing a fantastic work during these weeks!! We're almost done!!

LET'S WORK!!

1- As we're spending some time with our German friends, we'll make an interview to them about their beliefs.
Make a questionnaire and ask questions to our German students. Find out about their beliefs, their religions, if they know anything about the religion you're dealing with, etc. Mind your grammar!!

2. Take a picture of the questionnaire and retell what the student's answers were. Write a short paragraph and give your opinion. Did something call your attention??

3- Surf the net and make a picture representing your work on religions during these weeks. You'll use this picture from now on everytime you present or post information.

4- Surf the net and find at least three different resources explaining briefly what is your religion about. Transcribe and provide the complete resource information.

5. After reading all the information, describe briefly with your own words what is your religion about.

6. Surf the net and find 3 important characteristic that called your attention and describe them.
