There are two parts to this project:

Part A: You are to interview an Imam by asking five questions of your own choice and sound
record this interview.

Part B: You are to write a research piece on the topic of the change of direction of prayer (qiblah).
In your research piece, make sure to include:

1. What was the initial qiblah of Muslims for their daily prayers and what is the
current qiblah of Muslims?
2. When did the change of qiblah happen?
3. Where did the change of qiblah happen (provide information on that mosque)?
4. Why should Muslims have a qiblah?

Your questions for the interview should be analytical, reflective and insightful. Make sure to design
your questions accordingly. The duration of the interview with the Imam should not exceed 5
minutes (1 minute per question). You will submit this voice recording of the interview via MyEd,
SEQTA or USB depending on your teacher’s choice.

Your research piece should be between 300-400 words. It should follow the correct conventions
of writing (capital letters, sentences, paragraphs, spelling…etc).
Assessment Criteria: 20% of the maximum available score is deducted if a task is completed late
(unexcused) within one week after the actual date. After one week the mark of zero will be
permanent.
Please make sure you read through the rubric very carefully in order to understand how to achieve a
high mark for your project.
