Week 5

This week we did a project on 3 world religions, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.  I learned that they all are actually very alike.  It was interesting to see what what other religions believe and how the worship.  We made a powerpoint/video thing on the website called Prezi.  It made learning about other religions more interesting.  It was kind of confusing to use though.  I still have to get the hang of it.  Christy's Prezi blew all of ours away though. I still don't know how she did it.  We learned that we have our first test next week also and the stuff we have learned so far. yay.
