Brainstorm the following questions:
- What do you know about Islam as a religion?
- Consider the 9 aspects in your response. You may know very little about the faith or a lot.
- Think about what you see in the media, current affairs, in your school life, social life etc.
- At this there are no wrong answers so list as much as you can.
- Now that you have mapped out what you ‘know’, think about listing some things that you
- would like to find out. This could be things about the dress codes, prayer time, diet, fasting etc.
- Again, refer to the 9 aspects to help guide your questions.
- Watch the clip on clickview - You Can’t Ask That (see link below).
- You can’t ask that was a television series that aired last year on the ABC,
- the second series begins in April. Here is a description of the series:
- “You Can't Ask That asks groups of misunderstood, judged or marginalised
- Australians the awkward, inappropriate or uncomfortable questions you've
- always wanted to know the answers to, but have always been too afraid to ask”.
