Summarize at the end of your notes, the general trends or main takeaways one should see from your notes that addresses an essential question or topic.Additional Key Points●Hinduismwas mostly in India at this time. It included teachings about dharma and reincarnation, which contributed to the development of the social and political roles of a strict caste system. ●Buddhism was, in part, a reaction to Hinduism. It spread to China and East Asia through the efforts of missionaries and merchants, where it blended with Confucianism and Daoism to create Neo-Confucianism. It preached that all people could reach enlightenment through rejecting desire.●Confucianism’s core beliefs and writings originated in the writings and lesson of Confucius. They were elaborated by key disciples, including rulers such as Wudi, who sought to promote social harmony by outlining proper rituals and social relationships for all people in China. Key TermsPotential Student MisunderstandingsHinduismBuddhismConfucianismfilial pietyStudents may struggle with identifying the similarities and differences to each religion. Using the map and graphic organizer will help structure student’s notes so they are able to make the connections of each religion. Recognizing that some religions may have varying similarities is important, but also recognizing their differences. Teacher NotesThis lesson aligns with Topic 1.1 Developments in East Asia from 1200 to c. 14502
Please use the Unit 1 Lesson 2 Additional Document PDF attached in the Unit 1 folder to provide the readings for students in the model and round practice!Unit EQ: What factors provided order, stability, and meaning for people in postclassical societies?Today’s supporting questions: What role did religion play in the civilizations, states, and empires of the period 1200 to 1450 CE?This will be review for students who took World History and Geography 1. For religions that students are not as familiar with, the content can be re-spiraled on the appropriate civilization deep dive (e.g. Confucianism/Buddhism onLesson 3). This will be spiraled into various lessons throughout this unit and can be utilized to reteach misconceptions you may find in today’s lesson. During the launch, students should be focused on working on paraphrasing and summarizing as foundational skills needed for development of processes. Prioritize the note-taking skill of finding characteristics of each religion based on their locations. This content will be foundational to the upcoming units to determine, why or how empires ruled the way they did. Stamping these characteristics is the focal point of today’s lesson. Scaffolding: Support for students in reading comprehension is built into this lesson via paraphrase support for their map analysis and reading of religions. Use the Procedural Key Points/Thinking steps as an explicit modeling when students are struggling to paraphrase independently. Students’ overall task is to summarize the main idea of a section; they should practice paraphrasing key information in their own words as part of their summaries.3

Launch: Intro to New Material + Teacher Model Confucianism and Buddhism15 minutes (0:05-0:20)FRAME:TEACHERS ADD WHEN INTERNALIZINGStudent TaskTeacher Take notes as you listen to the lecture. Use the following guided question to help you considerwhat to write in your notes: How does each religion affect the society or government of each region? MINI-LECTURE AND MODEL: TEACHERS ADD WHEN INTERNALIZING using suggestions belowWe're going to take a look at the defining characteristics of early religions and philosophies in South, East, and Southeast Asia including Hinduism, Confucianism, Daoism, Shitoism, and Buddhism.Video(a few Teacher notes: 1. The teacher’s definition of filial piety is somewhat narrow in scope. I would add that filial piety is virtue of respect for one's parents, 4
Answer the CFU questions below in your notes as well:elders, and ancestors. Also note that filial piety is known as filial submission 2. There are two spellings for Taoism (Daoism). Make sure students know both spellings as to not get confusedAdd in a mini-lecture after the video: Shintoism is a religion that originated in Japan.It is polytheistic and revolves around the kami, supernatural forces believed to be in all things, a form of animism.Buddhism and Shintoism would syncretize, meaning to blend, to allow the Japanese to practice elements of both religions.Video CFUs 1.Identify one example of how Confucianism affected Chinese society or government under the Song Dynasty.2.What is one way Buddhism changed asit spread across Asia?1. Confucianists supported the idea of filial piety where children would honor their parents and elders.2. We see Buddhism combine with other religions such as seen in Japan with it being practiced with elements of Shintoism and in China with Neo-Confucianism, a combination of Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism.Teachers should include some opportunities for students to engage with note taking here (show calling exemplars in order to receive feedback on their notes)Bullet point what you hear me say and do as I find key details and characteristics for Hinduism.Use the Unit 1 Lesson 2 Additional Document PDF (excerpts from pp. 90-95). Read and underline key characteristics and effects on society of the next religion, Hinduism.Then, summarize the main idea of each paragraph by paraphrasing key informationin your own words.Transition to model.Teacher model how to underline key characteristics of Hinduism and summarize after each paragraph by paraphrasing key information. Hinduism:Paragraph #1 pg. 90Vedism, 700 b.c.e., Brahmins, Upanishads, reincarnation, Hinduism, IndiaSummary: The discontent with Vedism allowed for a series of poems and essays called the Upanishads to influence people to liberate themselves from the cycle of life. This process would establish the foundations of Hinduism by the 300s b.c.e.STAMP: How did I summarize each paragraph?You summarized each paragraph by reading, underlining characteristics and details of the religion, and then paraphrasing key information in your own words. Monitor Student Practice Buddhism & Confucianism 15 minutes (0:20-0:35)Student TaskExample ResponseLook at Barron’s AP World History (excerpts from pp. 90-95).

The Mauryan Emperor Ashoka facilitated Buddhism to spread throughout India, eventually leading to China. Paragraph #3 pg. 92philosophy, reincarnation, karma, caste system, nirvana, Four Noble Truths, Eightfold PathSummary: Buddhism become more of a philosophy with reincarnation and karma as a similar characteristic shared with Hinduism. However, Buddhist followers did not recognize the caste system and believed that everyone could achieve nirvana.Paragraph #4 pg. 92Theravada, Mahayana, Japan, Korea, syncretism, bodhisattvasSummary: Buddhism split into different branches such as Theravada and Mahayana, with Theravada focusing on simplicity and meditation, while Mahayana focuses on ritual and imagery. Mahayana Buddhists emphasize worship bodhisattvas, spiritual teachers who work to become a living Buddha while Theravada Buddhists emphasize living a monastic lifestyle Buddhism and Hinduism are similar because they both believe in reincarnation and darma/karma. However, they are different in that Hinduism only allows the highest social caste to achieve Nirvana, whereas Buddhism allows everyone to have the opportunity to achieve this. Confucianism:Paragraph #1 pg. 93Philosophy, Zhou dynasty, Confucius, 551-479 b.c.e, AnalectsSummary: Confucianism was also created out of a philosophical approach that was generated by a Zhou dynasty government official by the name of Confucius in the 6thcentury b.c.e. who wrote the Analectswith his experience of war and chaos. Paragraph #2 pg. 93Bureaucracy, social harmony, hierarchy, Mandate of Heaven, filial piety, ancestor veneration, patriarchySummary: The teachings of Confucianism proposed social harmony where a society would obey their rulers and rulers would be just and adequate in their position. Another characteristic of Confucianism is the importance of taking care of elder family members, known as filial piety. Like many other religions, Confucianism also was a patriarchal religion, with women having limited rights compared to men. LapAnticipated MisconceptionPrompts1 – Identify key detailsWords they may not know, too many words underlined“You underlined the correct word here, see if you can find specific characteristics of the religion in the rest of the paragraph.” 6
2 – group characteristicsNot being able to distinguish characteristics of the religion“Go back to the paragraph that specifically describes Buddhism, what does it say in regards to the social structure?”3- SummaryIncomplete summaries “Does your summary include most of what you underlined or only a few parts?” Respond: Buddhism and Confucianism 5 minutes (0:35-0:40)If most have it right (50%-90%)If nearly all have it right (>90%)On a doc-cam, put up a student’s annotations who is notthere yet (has some, but not all characteristics). Have the class compare their notes and identify additional (or missing) characteristics the student work needs to identify. Move onto the next sectionIf most don’t have it right (<50%)Model the annotations for a specific paragraph you noticed several students struggling with and then have students revisit their annotations to see where they made the error.THINKALOUD SCRIPT: TEACHERS ADD WHEN INTERNALIZINGAdditional Task: Brainstorm with your seat partner all of the characteristics the two of you could find to describe one major religion, then go back and see if you identified those in your annotations.STAMP: Based on the reading, what was a way Buddhism affected Asian society?I think Buddhism affected Asian society by encouraging more people across Asia to blend it with their local traditions and customs. It started in India and quickly spread all across Asia. Several different forms of Buddhism were created like Mahayana Buddhism that fit the spiritual needs of different groups of people in Asia. Exit Ticket 10 minutes(0:40-0:50)Student TaskExample Response1. Answer all parts of the question that follows.Identify ONE way in which the spread of Buddhism changed other Asian religious traditions in the period before 1450 C.E.Explain ONE way in which Buddhism changed as it spread across Asia.2.

Its followers were incorporated into the Brahman caste.C. It supported hierarchies based on caste.D. It reinforced the idea of obedience to the emperor as ameans to salvation.1a. One way in which the spread of Buddhism in the period changed other Asian religious traditions is that is combined or syncretized with other religions such as Confucianism and Daoism to form new philosophies like Neo-Confucianism in China.1b. One way in which Buddhism changed is that it branched into separate practices such as Mahayana and Theravada Buddhism. Mahayana Buddhists cared more about rituals and religious imagery in their practice while Theravada Buddhists focused more on simplicity and meditation in their practice.2. C7
