Religion around the world project due May 21

2013 Religion review student made board game 5 & 6 grade

DATES
Question are due May 30
The complete Board-game is Due June 5

Know that this project is going to take a lot of time. Do not plan to do this project in only one weekend, let alone the night before it is due.

Outline for the project.

1. Questions:
           a. vocabulary words. you can make them worth points, moves, money, turns, any thing you choose.
           b. Text based questions: these questions will be harder. All questions MUST be looked over to make
               sure they are correct.

2. The Game Board :
            a. You can be as creative as you want. Remember it is 15 points of your over all grade. Therefore,                      
                handing in a sloppy board with nothing original will hinder your grade.
            b. Theme of your game, clearly it is religion based. Remember to keep in mind all the topics we       covered during religion class.

You many use old exams to help you create questions for your game.
