__Mobile__ Your assignment is to make a mobile of Islam using famous Muslims, terms, places, events, and contributions and present it to our class. All of these topics are key beliefs and practices or significant contributions Islam made to the world. As you learned, many of these contributions are still in use today. 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 such as its connection to today. What you write will support its importance.

Presenting When you present your mobile, you will not be able to use any note cards or other written information. You may only use your mobile during your presentation. Also, you will be required to walk around the room when presenting to get closer to all students so they can see your mobile up close. You will always display the image, not the text on the other side.

__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. Alternate the colors of construction paper on your mobile. 3. One side must only have the image with 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. 8-12 topics are required. You may use the same type of topic for no more than 1/6 of your mobile. That is, if you have twelve topics, you could use two people, two events, one contribution, and one term, etc.
