Students will learn about the pillars of Islam first-hand from a practitioner of the faith and the influences Islamic culture has had in shaping our modern world. Afterwards, students will share their (mis)conceptions about the religion and draw comparisons of shared values in their own lives.
Videoconference Format
The following outline briefly describes the different components of a typical videoconference session for students:
1. Introduction: The GNG facilitator opens the videoconference and thanks the students from all participating schools. The facilitator also gives a general breakdown of the conference format.
2. Background on Topic: The GNG facilitator will provide a short background on the topic to be discussed. This presentation will include videos and other visuals to enhance the learning experience for the students.
3. Interactive Student Dialogue: Students will begin by responding to the GNG facilitator's questions about the program topic for the week (sample questions from all participating schools will be provided for each videoconference that directly relate to the topic of the day). Students will then pose questions and comments to one another and engage in direct dialogue about the topic. This exchange will constitute the majority of the session. .
4. Conclusion: The facilitator thanks all teachers and students for participating and allows all schools to make closing remarks. Lastly, the facilitator reminds students to prepare for the next session.
