Lesson Plan on Ramadan (Islamic Holiday)
GRADE LEVEL: 5-7
AUTHOR: Christy Ferguson
Islam for Kids
www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/Homework/religion/Islam.htm
September 1st marks the beginning of Ramadan, the
month-long Islamic observance that stresses fasting, worship,
contemplation, and family. Many non-Muslim children (and their
parents) know very little about how Muslims practice their
faith. This great site will answer the most common questions
that kids and adults have about Islam, including what the month
of Ramadan and the celebration Eid ul-Fitr are. The site is
organized in a simple Q&A format and the answers are written for
kids in upper elementary and middle school. In addition to
information about Islam, kids can also, from links on the home
page, find answers to questions about other world religions such
as Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Judaism, and Christianity

----------------------------------------------------------------------
A compilation of links to dozens of sites about traditional
religious apparel. "In this list many religions are grouped together
by clothing style, not necessarily by philosophical affiliation. So, for example
Lutherans and Anglicans are grouped with Catholics (since they use similar
vestments) while Byzantine Catholics are grouped with Eastern Orthodox for the
same reason." Maintained by a costume designer and theater professor at the
University of Alaska Fairbanks.
