Mobile+of+Islam

Mobile due date: E Block 11/30/09, C Block 12/01/09 Grading - 40 points, Formative category

Your assignment is to make a mobile of Islam using famous Muslims, terms, places, events, and contributions. Contributions can be in the areas of science, astronomy, medicine, geography, math, literature, philosophy or any area we covered. Your topics should reflect something significant about Islam. What you write will support its importance.

__Materials__ 3 wire coat hangers, index cards, construction paper, markers, paper clips, string, and a hole punch.

__Requirements__ 1. Must have at least three coat hangers, but no more than four. 2. Cannot use the same color twice. 3. One side must only have the image and/or name of the topic. Images can be drawn, printed or cut out of magazines. The other side has the information. Information can be a definition, role in Islam, contribution, significance, connection to today, or anything that you feel is relevant. Your information must be written, not printed. A fine-tip dark marker is a good choice for a writing utensil. 4. Must use different shapes for each topic. Shapes don't have to be real geometric shapes, but variety of shapes is the goal. 5. 6-12 topics are required. You may use the same type of topic no more than 1/3 of your mobile. That is, if you have six topics, you could use two people, two events, one contribution, and one term.
