8th grade

For homework answer the following question. Be sure to type it, and it should be at least 7 sentences long. As always I want you to not only answer the question, but explain your answer as well.

Muhammad was said to be illiterate. Why would his being illiterate be important or critical to the religion of Islam?

Think about our discussion today, and how we talked about the importance of why the Qur’an must not be translated. Remember don’t just give me an answer. Tell me why.


7th grade

Today was a surprise day in the computer lab. Hopefully you researched Part 5 and got most of it done. Tonight’s homework is to work on Part 5, but if you finished that today in class start on your Historical Fiction. Remember to keep looking at your timeline, and use the organizer as well.
