For the Religious Rites section
you do an extended response about either ONE of the TWO rites you have learnt
that is we did RITE OF PASSAGE-MARRIAGE for the JEWISH and CHRISTIAN traditions.
The other one we did was RITE OF PUBLIC WORSHIP-HOLY COMMUNION for CHRISTIAN and SHABBAT for JEWISH.

For the "Everyday lives of believers" what do we answer?
Because we learn different things e.g. symbols and nature, role and function of officiating celebrants or sacred writings etc.
How do we relate taht stuff back to the "Everyday lives of believers" ?
Thanks

For the "Everyday lives of believers" part, you need to show/describe/evaluate etc the impact that the rite has on the everyday lives of believers. So although what you have said is under the "the everyday lives of believers" dot point, you need to talk about things like....

*Christian Communion services set a time/date/place for worship, thus devout believers would structure their day/week/month around this
*Same thing for Jewish Synagogue services
*Marriage changes the social status of a person in both Christianity and Judaism
*In Judaism, the couple now have a shared responsibility for the home, family etc..

They're just some examples, there's heaps more.. In your essay if it asks about the everyday life of believers try to finish off paragraphs, sentances etc with "this is another way how the rite affects the everyday lives of believers" or something like that

Hope that helps. If it doesn't make sense, I'll try explain it again.
