    "Beginning with the May 2011 AP Exam administration, there was a change to the way AP Exams are now scored. Total scores on the multiple-choice section are now based on the number of questions answered correctly. Points are no longer deducted for incorrect answers and, as always, no points will be awarded for unanswered questions." AKA IF YOU DON'T KNOW IT GUESS ANYWAY.

      2) This map is very interesting because it shows what the majority of Americans in different reasons believe about their religion. The unique thing about this map is that it represents all religions, not just one. I looked in particular at the map of how strongly people view their religion as the one true faith. A relatively low number of people agree with this, which is probably why there aren't many huge religious conflicts in the United States. 3) For a project, I would ask students to look at this map and identify the states with the highest percentage of people who believe that their religion is the one true faith. Then I would have them research religious conflicts in these areas. We would then compare this research with data about states that had the lowest percentage of people who agreed with the statement. This would show if there is a correlation between religious conflict and the belief that a certain religion is the only right way.

      Elina: your observations make sense because the South East is the Bible belt, so there are probably a lot more people there who believe in God. It's interesting that Colorado is so much lower than all of the states around it too.

      Good observation, Bronte. Why does Colorado seem to be not as "mainstream religious" as other states?

    1) This map depicts the various religions, denominations, and sects within the United States. It shows how these faiths are distributed across the nation and how dense they are in their respective locations. This map is invaluabe in describing what Americans believe and where they do so. 2)I chose this map because of how helpful and powerful it is. It does a fantastic job at being straigh forward in showing the geographer where different faiths reside. From this information, the human geographer can make powerful inferences on why things are the way they are regarding religion. 3) Using the "Religious Landscape Survey" website, the students should write a well-thought-out response answering the prompt "How are different faiths distributed across America?"

    I agree with you, Liam. The map does an excellent job of showing the distribution of the different religions across the United States. The maps themselves would help others to preform your project idea. It would involve what we have learned in the past about migration, but would also tie in what we have learned about religion so far.

    1.) The map on this webpage displays the distribution of certain religions within the US. For example, it shows that Protestantism and Catholicism are the two most dominant religions within the US. 2.) I chose this part of the survey because it provided me with a visual aid of the distribution of religions within the US. Also, it shows the distribution of specific religions within certain states. 3.) Create a visual representation of the distribution of a religion of your choice within the US, and provide some insight learned from this unit (and others) in order to explain the cause of the religion's distribution.

    Liam, I agree that the map has power in the way it displays the distribution of different faiths. The visual representation is helpful in understanding a religion's distribution.

    Very impressive, APHUG! It's a pleasure reading all of your online text transactions. I'm recording these excellent task ideas, too. See you all Friday.

    This map portrays the percentage of each state in which citizens answer whether religion is "very important" in their life or not. 2. Not only can we learn the number of citizens who truly value their religion in either a widespread or specific area, but also come to some conclusions on what possible dominant religion that area is ruled by. For example, the states of Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Louisiana all have very high percentage rates in which the citizens say their religion is very important in their life. From prior knowledge we know this is around the "Bible Belt" area, and can assume that these states are predominately Protestant. In state such as California and Nevada, the percentage rates of the citizens who feel that religion is important to their life is relatively low. Especially on the West Coast, religion isn't well known. 3. A project I feel that would be beneficial and "real world" like would be to survey students at our own High School, asking the same question; whether religion is "very important" in their life. Of course you can't force students to take the survey, but it would be interesting to examine the results gathered from responses of fellow classmates.

    Nathan V- I really like the creativity of your project. There are definitely a few important correlations between amount of attendance at services and the predominant religion in the area. Great connection.

    1. This map shows all the religions practiced in the United States and exactly what percentage of people practice each religion. You can also click a link that shows us how many people actively practice their religion. 2. I chose this because it is interesting to see exactly what religions are being practiced and if people are actually practicing their religion. 3. I think an interesting project idea would be to first, take a survey of the people in your neighborhood of what religion they practice. Secondly, take a survey of how many actively practice their religion. Then look up the same statistics for 2000 and compare the results to see how it has changed. After make a presentation/power point showing these results seeing whether more people practice their religions or not now a days as opposed to 13 years ago.

    Brendan- I love your project idea. I think it would be more beneficial than just writing or creating a visual representation because it would be more like you're doing real field work and it would be more real life than writing about the map.

    1) This table is obviously invaluable in answering questions concerning the regional distribution of faiths in the United States. It includes the following U.S. regions: Northeast, Midwest, South, West. In addition, the followers of various denominations of Christianity and other significant faiths are compared. It's important to note the difference in sample size. 2) This link helps me understand the geographic perspective of religion because I can make hypotheses and draw connections based on the regional distribution of the followers of each faith. Regions differ from one another, and these differences could explain why one faith is more prominent then another. 3) How are religious faiths connected to the demographic tradition? Analyze the religious compositions of two countries- one developed and one developing. Draw a conclusion based on your findings. Determine if your conclusion is viable- can any generalizations be made about religion? Does religion suggest other characteristics of a person, or is faith a matter to be examined solo?

    Indeed Jess! The table is very helpful and does an excellent job at answering questions regarding distribution of faiths. I like your project idea. It ties in what we have learned about religion, what we have learned from previous chapters, and what we have found about our respective countries.

    1) This link leads to a comparison of percentage of people's view of their religion in their own life. It divides into very important, to somewhat important, to not too/not important at all, and so on. 2) I chose this graphic because it gives an idea to what a group of people truly feels about their own faith. Because all in all, I feel one is an actual Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, Mormon, etc. only if they faithful towards their proclaimed faith. So this graphic helps give a good representation of how many "full time" adherents there are to a specific faith in the United states. 3) One task I would create would be to complete an alternate form of graph to represent the data. For example, a pie chart or bar graph.To add to it, maybe even research the same information, but for the whole world instead of just the United states if possible.

    To what extent are these conflicts rooted in ethnic competition or dividing ethnicities?   Choose one peacekeeping operation and examine if the conflict involved ethnic cleansing or genocide.
