2 The purpose of this lesson is to provide students a clear understand of the basics of four major Eastern Hemisphere religions/philosophies: Buddhism, Confucianism, Legalism, and. By understanding Buddhism, Confucianism, Legalism, and, students will gain a better understanding of Asian culture and how these religious/philosophical practices influence both the ancient and modern world. To accomplish the ultimate goal of connecting the Eastern Hemisphere content to the modern world, this lesson will use clips from the classic Star Wars films. The subject matter presented within the Star Wars films reflects a heavy influence of Asia thoughts and ideas. By incorporating these concepts and examples into the lesson, students will identify the influence of the Ancient Asian upon our modernday world. To generate excitement around the topic, this lesson is planned around the date of May the 4 th. This day is recognized as International Star Wars Day (May the 4 th be with you!). By connecting the lesson to Star Wars, students will be more open-minded to learning topics. The materials presented in this lesson center on the exercises of International Star Wars Day, but should be incorporated into a larger unit of East Asian cultures. Lesson Knowledge Objectives Students will be able to name the founders of Buddhism, Confucius, and. Plus, have some background on the man most associated with the Legalist movement, the Emperor Qin. Students will discuss the concepts of The Four Noble Truths, The Eight Fold Path, Yin-Yang, and Social Harmony. Students will identify the locations in Asia where of these religious and philosophical concepts formed and what historical events contributed to their expansion. Unit Skill Objectives Students discuss and compare the ideas of the different faiths/philosophies. Students will use critical thinking skills to connect the presented eastern ideas to the modern day film of Star Wars. Students use context clues and prior knowledge to relate the eastern themes and ideas presented in the selected clips. Unit Attitudinal Objectives Students will enjoy their time spent in their social studies classroom by understanding that the content learned in social studies class surrounds us on a daily basis. From their experiences during Star Wars Day, the students will then want to share what they have learned with others. With the information gained from this lesson, students will begin to examine the influence of history, cultures, and philosophies on different aspects of modern life. I. Objectives: 1. Students will analyze and explain the historical background and foundations of Buddhism,, Legalism, & Confucianism.
3 2. Students will identify and recognized the importance of symbolism within eastern religions (the lotus, the mentor, rebirth, etc.). 3. Students will compare and contrast how eastern ideas are used within the framework of the Star Wars films II. Anticipatory Set: A. Connection to Student previous learning: What are the basic teachings of Confucius, Buddha, and Lao Tzu? B. Connection to Student lived experience: Can you think of things/places you have read, visited, or watch where the ideas of the Buddhism,, Legalism, or Confucianism have been displayed? Are the ideas of the eastern hemisphere apparent in the western hemisphere? III. Materials Activity Materials Estimated/target time length Review general concepts of Buddha, Confucius, and Lao Tzu (Yin-Yang, Four Noble Truths, Eight Fold Path, Social Harmony, etc.) Student Notes, Textbook, and PowerPoint form prior day (if needed) 10 minutes View pre-selected clips from the Star Wars series Clips from the Star Wars Movies 15 minutes Complete form related to identifying aspects of Buddhism,, Legalism, or Confucianism within Star Wars. Conclusion of activity: Restate the eastern concepts presented in Star Wars and establish why it is important to understand the ideas of other cultures. Handout-Chart 20 minutes 5 Minutes IV. Assessment: 1. What informal evaluation methods will you use to monitor the class and adjust your plans during instruction?
4 During and after the viewing portion activity the instructor will ask who, what, where, when, and why questions that will show how much of the information the students retained. 2. How is information taught in this lesson going to be formally evaluated? This lesson is part of the larger Eastern Hemisphere section of the curriculum. Thus, students will complete a formal testing of knowledge at the section s conclusion. 3. How have you connected objectives, instruction, and assessment? All objectives are based on NCSS themes and State objectives. 4. How does the nature of the assessment for this information affect your selection of instructional method? The main goal for my instructional method is to make sure that everything completed can be broken down into who, what, where, when, and why questions so students will be able to competently answer questions posed on formal and informal assessments. Therefore, by viewing the Star War clips, students will identify important people (Buddha, Confucius, etc.), continue to discuss locations such as India and China, connect the use of ancient concepts in modern times, and discuss why these insights still prevail. VI. Independent practice: Students will write a brief journal response explaining how a provided quote from Star War s relates to Buddhism, Confucianism, Legalism, or. VII. Closure: Ask questions that deal with today s topic to assess for basic understanding of major unit concepts. VIII. Reflection: Were the vocabulary words understood? o Eight Fold Path o Four Noble Truths o Yin Yang o Confucianism / harmony concepts o Legalism Did the activity help the student s understanding? Will it still make sense with tomorrow s lesson?
