Who were the religious leaders who have worked for peace?

Oscar Romero and Children from El Salvador

Our today's objective is to learn about the religious leaders who worked for peace.

In order to achieve it you need to read the text book and create a fact file about the religious leaders who have worked for peace (kerboodle page 110-111). Remember: You need your username and password. The organisation code is 3872.
In addition to the examples given in your book you can include Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Gandhi, Aung Suu Kyi, Oscar Romero, Norman Kember. (You can research about them on internet)

Aung Suu Kyi

Two religious leaders fact files is sufficient but make sure you include two examples from different religions.
In our fact file you need to give a short explanation of their background :

Norman Kember

Explain who they were/are: where they come from, what they did or do for living why they decided to work for peace.
You also need to explain what they did or do - what actions they took or are taking to promote peace and very importantly: explain how their religious beliefs impact in their actions i.e. you MUST include religious references - the religious teachings that guided these believers to do their work for peace.
You can use the book quotes or GCSE bitesize. You can use EITHER powerpoint presentation,word doc or fakebook profile
Best works get from 10 to 25 merits.

If you already create your fact file, after that you must research about the work of peacekeepers.
Create a fact file from page 112-113. You must explain in your fact files: which organisations (names) and what they do to keep peace. You must research about terrorism and complete information according to instructions on page 113. Worksheet model you can access here.
Save your documents, write your names, print them all and hand them to me. Best works get from 10 to 25 merits!
