Assignment:
You will read the chapter titled, Religion and Magic which covers our content for this unit. It is very important to read the entire chapter and pay close attention to the characteristics and traits of Religion and Magic. At the end of this chapter there are 3 critically thinking questions located on page 353, where you will choose one question to type a three page answer and response. The concept sheets and the video can be a useful guide in helping you construct your answers.
Here are the questions:
1) How does your conception of God compare with beliefs about Supernatural beings in other religious systems?
2) What do you think is the future of religion? Explain your answer.
3) Could any of the religious practices you know about be classified as Magic? Are they associated with anxiety-arousing situations?
These questions lay a foundation for a position paper, argumentative paper, compare and contrast essay, and a critical response essay.
This assignment is a summative assessment and can help examine a students proficiency at the end of a unit. It also aligns well with the course objectives of the class.
1) Read critically and communicate effectively as writers and speakers on the various cultures around the world, social organizations, and various lifestyles that exist on both local and global scales.
2) Explain the current perspectives in anthropology and demonstrate an anthropological and multidisciplinary approach to problem-solving by synthesizing behavioral science perspectives including anthropology, psychology, sociology, history, and political sciences.
3) Analyze the role of research methods in building anthropological knowledge and how different methods can change the outcome of your research and interpretation of it.
All of these objectives and outcomes are aligned with my content for unit one. All of the methods I provided above such as the utilizing an Ebook , concept sheets , videos, etcdirectly tie to my overall student success in the class as well as a measure of assessment. I believe having different methods of expressing content , can reach a variety of different students and learning styles. Students will use the textbook/Ebook version , while others find the concept sheets effective for this assignment, but my overall content directly aligns with my objectives and outcomes.
