Week of Nov. 18-22, 2k24



We have a few flicks & a solid Hinduism Unit Doc that will help you complete the following project!

Compose an acrostic poem for the word Hinduism.  Follow the guidelines below.  This is worth two quiz grades.  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 :)  There must be color!  Write the letters/sentences in different colors!

Include a minimum of three sentences for each letter in the word Hinduism. 

  • You must use every word listed here in bold and one of these words must be in each letter of the acrostic poem..  All of these words are in the document:  Dharma, karma, Sanskrit, Brahman(ism), deity, caste system, Vedas, pilgrimage, samsara, cow, atman, water, Holi, aum
  • Provide one drawing per letter in the acrostic poem.  They must be related to one of the key words listed in the poem.  Ensure that it relates to the letter of the poem.  Must be a color picture or there must be color in the picture!  Hindus LOVE LOVE LOVE COLOR!
  • 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.  Write that sentence in the color you use for the letter!
