Researching and Seeking information
The students continued to develop their research skills by identifying similarities and differences of belief systems using VENN diagram. They were showing their curiosity by finding information from the books and web.
Collecting information and reporting findings
After identifying about similarities and differences of different belief systems, then they continued to explore about the belief and values. What are the Islamic values that you know? How can you apply your values to your daily life?. These were the provocative questions that teacher gave to students to have reflection about their own belief and values.
However, the students were also encouraged to interview their family members and have discussion about it together with peers. As the conclusion, the values were about how to respect to other, how to help other's in need, how to keep the relationship with family and society.

Deepening understanding
Learning about similarities and differences among belief systems were challenging task since students had to find from different resources. We focussed mostly to discuss about Belief Systems in Indonesia. Through video, we watched about some beliefs like Islam, Christian, Catholic, Buddha, Hindu and Confucianism. They researched about their holy books, values, worship place, and even names of the GOD.
Taking action
The summative assessment of this unit was students identified Islamic values that applied in daily life and based on Al Quran. There were divided into different area like economy, health, social, and education.
