Not sure how to introduce the concept of World Religions? If you teach World History (usually taught in 6th grade or early high school), then this is the perfect tool for you!

My name is Beverly Weber and I taught 6th grade for several years. I was amazed at the lack of quality material available for students at my grade level. I didn't want to overwhelm my children with details, but I did want them to gain a solid understanding of the differences between the various religions of the world. So I created these PowerPoints as a means of quickly introducing the topic within my public school classroom.

I've tried to keep the information interesting and accurate. I have additional lesson plans and PowerPoints on this topic that I am uploading regularly. Please check back!

Will there be any of the other 4 religions added? Also, When we refer to the books of the Torah, they must not be presented as the first five books of the bible. The Torah is the bible, therefore, saying the first five books gives the reader the feel of a Christian writer.

This is a good powerpoint to present the basic essentials of Judaism at a sixth grade level. However, as a technology coordinator who locates such material for my teachers, I needed to rework just about every page so that this could be presented in the classroom. The font size on the various slides varied from 18, to 24, to 28, to 32 with the headings being a size 44! It needs to be a consistent minimum of 32 in order to be large enough for presentation to a classroom!

As an historian of religions, I was a bit surprised to see common errors about "Judaism" perpetrated here, for instance, that Hebrew Religion was monotheistic (it was not; they worsipped one god, but recognized the existence of others) and that it is the same as Judaism. These problems are resolved in any good introductory Judaism class in the university.

Wow! This is a wonderful introduction to religious studies. I teach band (usually) but once in a while I must substitute in history. The teacher for the class left this for me to use to present while I subbed the class and the kids enjoyed it. This powerpoint makes it easy to understand the essential elements of Judaism. I was impressed!

Are the rest of your presentations available? I was very impressed with the one on judaism for my lower level learners in 9th grade.
