Muhammad Timeline

Directions: You will watch Part 1 of PBS Frontline's "Islam: Empire of Faith" today and tonight you will read the introduction to the Qur'an by Mohammed Marmaduke Pickthall.

Task: You will compile a timeline of important events from Muhammad's life and the growth of Islam.

After completing the timeline (and you should have a good # of events based on both resources) you will write a short reflection on which contributing factors you feel had the most significant impact on. (note: be sure to explain how/why these events had a profound impact on the religion)

Due Date: Timeline and reflection should be posted to blog by end of the day on 1/28.

6 (96): Very good performance: Detailed knowledge and understanding, logically structured, appropriate terminology; analysis, evaluation and synthesis of knowledge; strong awareness of multiple perspectives; strong evidence and critical thinking

5(93): Good Performance: Sound knowledge and understanding; answers are logical and coherent, but could be extended; some integration of knowledge and concepts; tendency to be more descriptive than evaluative although shows contrasting views; solid evidence of critical thinking; an ability to analyze data

4(90): Strong Performance: Secure knowledge and understanding beyond 'common sense' points; ability to structure, but need to improve clarity and focus; ability to develop ideas, relate facts, substantiate assertions, but is more descriptive than analytical; ability to interpret data, solve problems and engage in analysis.

3(84): Mediocre performance:Demonstrates some knowledge and understanding; a basic use of terminology and structure; some ability to make links between facts and ideas. Assignment clearly lacks the depth of response.
