Reviewing packet and Pow Wow discussion!

Today in class, Mr. Schick talked about the Pow Wow assembly for awhile. Asking the students what our opinions were, and if we were going to the actual Pow Wow on Saturday. Mr. Schick also discussed that we would get ten extra credit points if any student would take a picture at the Pow Wow event. We can do this by taking a selfie near the drums, at a vendor, with Mr. Scholl, or somewhere else that proves we were there. The Pow Wow takes place at John Carroll, in the upper gym of the building. It starts at 10am, but Mr. Schick recommends us (if we are going) to be there at 1pm for the Grand Entry. To receive the extra credit points, the student would have to email the teacher of that class the photo by midnight Sunday night, January 13th. For me, I am most likely going to go to the Pow Wow, to get the extra credit points, and maybe see what it has in store for John Carroll! After discussing the Pow Wow, Mr. Schick told us to get out our packets on religions that he had handed out earlier. The teacher instructed us to highlight some of important context in the packet, that will be good to know for the test. Although most migrants learn the language of the new location, they typically retain their religion. Judaism, Sikhism, and Spiritism have between 14 and 23 million adherents each. In all but a handful of countries, the religion with the largest number of adherents is either Christianity or Islam. Christianity is the most widely practiced religion in every country of the Western Hemisphere. Islam is the most widely practiced religion in nearly every country of Southwest Asia and North Africa, as well as in Central Asia. In several countries, including China, the largest number of people are unaffiliated with any religion. Judaism is the most widely practiced religion in the State of Israel. More than 90 percent of Latin Americans and more than 75 percent of Europeans and North Americans identify themselves as adhering to Christianity. India is 80 percent Hindu. Islam is the predominant religion of Central Asia and of Southwest Asia and North Africa. An adherent of the religion of Islam is known as a Muslim, which in Arabic means "one who surrenders to God." The word Shitte (sometimes spelled Shia) comes from the Arabic word for "party" or "support group." That is only some of my notes that I had highlighted in the packet.
