Jerusalem project presentations on Th, Oct 5, included:

a) Description of the city's elements - Dome of the Rock, etc.
b) Quote from your brief bio - so the class might try to name the famous figure being described.
c) Documentation - where you got your info.

- pronunciation of Church of the Holy Sepulchre (seh’ pul ker)
- do not use Google or Yahoo as a source. Those are internet portals, sites through which you go to get to the actual source.


Write 5 mult-choice questions to accompany your Jerusalem project. Try to write 2 easy, 1 medium difficulty, and 1 challenging. Put it on a page facing the Jerusalem project.
Worth 5 pts. When combined with notes on teaching Jerusalem as a lesson to a student or adult.
