 Notable figures or leaders associated with the religion.
  Allow time for group preparation and presentation. Encourage creativity and the
use of visuals or multimedia elements in their presentations.
 (4) Analysis: After each group presents their findings, facilitate a class discussion
to analyze and compare the different world religions. Encourage students to
identify commonalities, differences, and potential areas of conflict or harmony
between the religions discussed.
 Discuss the impact of religion on various aspects of human life, such as ethics,
social structures, gender roles, and individual identity.

of world religions from the previous activities. Facilitate a discussion on the
significance of religious diversity in promoting cultural pluralism and global
citizenship.
 (6) Application: Present the students with a real-life scenario or case study where
an understanding of different religions and belief systems is necessary for
resolving a conflict or promoting mutual respect. Ask them to analyze the
situation and propose possible approaches or solutions based on interreligious
dialogue and understanding.
 (7) Assessment: Provide the students with the following assessment questions
related to the objective:

Assignment: For homework, ask the students to research and write a short reflection
paper on their own beliefs and values in relation to the world religions discussed in
class. They should consider how their understanding of different religions may influence
their perspectives and interactions with others.

Interactive Activities:

1. Interfaith Dialogue: Organize a panel discussion or small group activities where students
from different religious backgrounds can share their beliefs and engage in respectful
dialogue. Encourage them to ask questions and seek clarification to deepen their
understanding of different perspectives.
2. Field Trip to a Place of Worship: Arrange a visit to a local religious center, such as a
mosque, synagogue, temple, or church. Students can observe religious practices, meet
with religious leaders, and ask questions to gain firsthand experience and understanding.
 3. Comparative Analysis: Assign students to compare and contrast two different world
religions based on specific criteria, such as their views on the afterlife, ethical teachings,
or concepts of divinity. They should present their findings in a written report or oral
presentation.

Remember to adapt the suggested activities and assessment questions according to the
available resources and the specific needs and interests of your students.
