 * PERIOD 2** - //Major Religion Compare/Contrast Formal Essay// **__Due Tue, December 7th__**, by email to Mr. Rizzo (steven.rizzo@maine.edu) or handed in at the beginning of class. As discussed on Friday, this 1-page essay should follow the same format as the last essay you wrote concerning Ancient River Valley Civilizations and how they changed their environments (you're using the same five-paragraph graphic organizer). The only difference is you are now comparing (pointing out similarities) or contrasting (pointing out differences) three aspects (beliefs, rituals, founding, etc.) of any two of the five major religions we have covered together this quarter (Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism).

Your thesis should boil down to 1 of 4 scenarios:


 * Religion A and Religion B are a lot alike (you compare three similarities)
 * Religion A and Religion B are mostly alike, but not completely (you contrast one difference, then follow up with comparisons of two similarities)
 * Religion A and Religion B are mostly different, but not completely (you compare one similarity, then follow up with contrasting two differences)
 * Religion A and Religion B are very different (you contrast three differences)

//HINT:// For those having difficulty, you might try focusing on Christianity (all of the relevant material is still posted on this page) and the religion you did your group project on (which you should be the most familiar with at this point).

Here are the two documents I provided in class on Friday to help you organize your thoughts:


 * PERIOD 1** - //Major Religion Compare/Contrast Formal Essay// **__Due Thu, December 9th__**, by email to Mr. Rizzo (steven.rizzo@maine.edu) or handed in at the beginning of class. Follow the instructions given to Period 2 above.
