**__ Reference Sources  __** **The Macquarie Junior Dictionary (2nd Ed.) 1985**  You can use this dictionary to find the meanings of your keywords. Many words have a number of meanings so make sure you choose the meaning that relates to our topic.  **   R 030 MIL Millenium Family Encyclopedia (1997) ** **  R 030 WOR World Book (1992)   **  These three sets of encyclopedias in our reference section will help you to find information on each of the religions. Although the Millenium Encyclopedia and The World Book are old it is only the statistical information that won't be accurate. Facts about the religions will still be correct.
 * R 030 WOR The World Book Student Discovery Encyclopedia (2003) **

The first two encyclopedias are a great place to start as they provide very good overviews of the religions we are studying. The text in World Book is smaller and the information is a lot more detailed.

Information in these encyclopedias is presented alphabetically, so look at the spine of the books to identify which volume will contain information you are searching for.

Use the information that you find in these to help fill in your matrix. Create a timeline that shows when each of the religions began.

**__ Online Reference Sources __** [|**MSN Encarta**] MSN Encarta is a digital multimedia encyclopedia, dictionary and atlas. Type the religion you want information for into the search bar and click on the //**Search Encarta**// button. Many of the sites include multimedia, so you can listen to a classical saung-gauk of Myanmar, an instrument which became known as the voice of Buddha, or hear a sacred Jewish cantillation, to name just a few. <span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive">[|**Wikipedia**] <span style="FONT-SIZE: 120%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive"> <span style="FONT-SIZE: 110%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive"> This Wikipedia site has a great map showing the distribution of the world’s religions.
