You can have students write your answers in journals or on the W column of a KWL diagram. Teachers must remind students of the ground rules and encourage them to follow them. Make sure they tell students that they won't share any personal information with you and that each faith will be discussed without judgment.
They will engage in mutually beneficial dialogue with believers in other traditions
Participants will learn how each religion functions to teach other religions ethical principles. These interactions will allow each tradition offer ethical suggestions that improve our learning and development.

After understanding the diverse world religions, students will be capable of describing their own religious beliefs. Students will also be familiarized with terms like polytheism and monotheism.

She should remind students that they cannot discuss personal information. They must also be able to talk about each religion without judging.
