Find three quotations in the reading that speak about general trends in the religious tradition described in the reading. What unifies or defines

All questions (1-10) ask you to quote relevant passages from the textbook, and cite them correctly.

Find passages in the textbook that answer the question, and type what the textbook says – quote the textbook – put the quotation in “quotation marks,” and cite your source. Refer to the examples I provide below.

All responses should be written in full sentences, not lists or a few words.

Questions 1-8 simply ask you to quote the text. In questions 9 and 10, I am asking you to go a step further.

For 9 and 10, please BOTH quote the text/cite it, AND respond to what you have read. In question 4, I am asking you to generate questions about the material. Question 5 asks you to find connections between the reading and your life, and/or other ideas from class.
