Huston Smith Islam Chapter

Begin your reading of Smith. You task is to focus on the main ideas of each of Smith’s sections. For each section (the Bolded Titles within the chapters) you are to come up with the FIVE main ideas of that section. To do this you are to make a question out of the heading – the five points should address the question or help answer the question. When you complete the section, you are to develop a thesis statement / summary of the section. Post your responses on your blog.

**Page numbers are not PDF page numbers but "Book" page numbers ** (I hope that makes sense)

Part I: page 3-22 (ending at “The Standing Miracle”) Week of 2/9

Part II: page 23 (start with the standing miracle) – 46 (ending at the Five Pillars) Week of 2/16

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.
