Class of October 10th, 2011

This class was taken up mainly by three out of the five student Prezi presentations about the geography of the world's affects on religion and by the fourth and final Islam Vocabulary Quiz.  The terms on the quiz were:

• Muezzin - The ministers of the Muslim Mosques who call Muslims to prayer
• Rasul - Prophet in Arabic, the prophets of the Muslim church
• Chaliph - The successor to Muhammad and leader of the church of Islam

Assignments:  A 1-2 page essay on what the sacred means to Islam is due next class.

Because the class was mostly about the world and it's natural affects on religion and culture, the theme visual will be a world map...of the world.

Connections:

Because the quiz was about different positions in Islam, here is an article visiting the presence of hierarchy in Islam.

 Because the more forgotten theme of class was increasing our experience with Prezi, here is an interview with the CEO of the rapidly growing non-linear presentation sensation that some call Prezi.
