Acrostic Poem Project: Hinduism


Our next major world religion is Hinduism.  You are creating an acrostic poem that would teach someone who knows nothing about Hinduism a little about this religion. Compose an acrostic poem for the word Hinduism.  Follow the guidelines below. 

This is a Quiz grade. Ms. Jordan & Mr. Barry will provide you with the paper, colored pencils, markers, etc to work on the project in class. The poem must be handwritten, so take your time writing the information so it “looks” legible :)

Include a minimum of two sentences for each letter in the word Hinduism. A sample sentence is provided below but you may not use it.

You must use at least ten key/vocab words that you will read about in this unit: 
Dharma, karma, Sanskrit, Brahman(ism), deity, om, caste system, Vedas, pilgrimage, samsura, cow, atman

Provide one image per letter either hand drawn or printed in color and pasted to each of the letters and label it. Ensure that it relates to the letter of the poem. Must be a color picture.

You must have at least one deity/god/goddess as an image on your project and explain who it is and what they represent…(An avatar...Vishnu, Shiva, etc…) You may use it in one of your letters and be an “image” from one of the letters.

Color Color Color! Hindus believe very deeply that color is important to culture and life. Use color! Look at the images we’ve examined over this unit and attempt to match the patterns if you can. Use different colors for each letter/sentence.
