Monotheistic Religions Unit Test Study Guide

Throughout the last three and half weeks we have studied and learned about the religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The assessment on Tuesday 1/31 will cover all three of these world religions.
To help review the information students can review the notes taken in class in their religion packet, and also look back into Google Classroom to review class activities.

1. Be able to explain how each religion is still evident in our world today.

2. Explain what factors (political, social, economic or environmental) caused the movement of each religion's people and ideas to spread around the globe.
