Islamic World Booklet
Islam is one of the world’s major religions, yet many Americans know little about it. Instead of a test for this
chapter, you will create a booklet that tells kids about Islam.
The booklet will have a title page and four sections: Who Was Muhammad?, What is Islam?, The Islamic Empires,
and Cultural Achievements.
Each section will need a paragraph and an illustration. Remember that your audience is children, so use simple,
clear language. Each paragraph should contain 5 to 8 sentences, including the topic and closing sentences. You will
also need to have an illustration for each page that relates to the content on it.
