Theme 4: Religious Experience

Theme 4: Religious Experience PowerPoint


Awakening Stories of Buddhist Women

Expectations for Photo Essay?
1. I think that it would be beneficial to the essay for you to introduce your understanding of and involvement with the concept, "religious experience".  The "questions to consider" and the categories that define a religious experience would serve as a great asset in your introduction.
2. The last slide of the Power Point (with the Venn diagram) has the following prompt, "Discuss the experience of meditation in Buddhism". In your photo essay (think "body paragraphs") you would use the 2 Awakening Stories to develop a response.
3. Make sure that you use both your knowledge of gained from the Power Point AND the sources to aid in your evaluation and reflection. Once again,  this means conclusions/opinions/thoughts you have formed based on the information researched. Make sure that you have used appropriate terminology/vocabulary!
4. Does the story map have to be included in the photo essay? No, however, I think this would definitely help you in the "planning" portion of your presentation!
