Interactive Web Ideas

For my story on Raj, I was considering a quiz "how much do you know about Sikhism" to challenge the viewer's ideas about the religion. After 9/11, several Sikhs were killed because of the stereotypes circling from the cultural norms in dress such as the turban. It is important to break stereotypes and learn about the fundamental concepts and beliefs of Sikhism.

One fun interactive quiz I found:

A couple good things about this quiz:
1. the background changes from question to question
2. it gives you a structured amount of time for each question
3. it's short and sweet

Obviously, it was made for children, but I'm sure we can find a way to appeal to a broader audience.
