This is great, when I teach the philosophers at the beginning of World history I can now include Asian philosophers. Even though that is frowned upon because they did not influence western philosophical thought. I would like my students to make connections with the views and the ideas that people had during a time of oppression. There are many people the rise to the challenge and want the best for ALL people and are willing to scarify themselves for the good of society. Thank you for this great resource.

Students are introduced to ancient religions in the 6th grade. In 7th grade we continue with religions. One way I adapt the given lesson is that we review three major philosophies/religions: Confucius, Daoism, and Buddhism. Students are given background information and questions to answer. As an "assessment" students are given quotes and they figure out under which of the given philosophy/religion they fall under.

So, so, so, SO, smart!
