Name World ______Religions Hour ______Flip-Book Project To help you remember what we’ve learned about the 5 major world religions, you will be making a flip-book. Each page of the flip-book will need to include all the following information for each of the major world religions:  Name of the religion on the tab  Draw and Color Symbol(s) / important people/ gods of the religion  Tell where the religion originated (place/region/country)  Tell who founded (started) the religion  Tell the name of the Supreme Being or God in the religion  Tell where the followers worship / tell how the followers worship  Tell the name of the Religious book(s) / Religious writings for the religion  Tell the basic beliefs or ideas of the religion (a bare minimum of 3 for each)

Make sure to write out the information in complete sentences and paragraphs.

To make your flip-book, you will need 3 sheets of long white paper. Lay the papers flat on a desk and spread them out so that each one is off-set by ½ to ¾ of an inch.

Then, fold the top half down to complete the flip-book leaving a ½ inch space again. Finally, put 2 staples at the very top of the book to hold the book together.
