We will be taking a few notes on Hinduism. This religion helps explain much of Modern India. Those notes can be found here.
Tuesday we will be looking at the caste system and how it effects India. This will lead us to the other big religion that started in India: Buddhism. We will look at the basic tenants of Buddhism and the life of Siddhartha. We will take a few notes here.
Wednesday we will look at a children's book about a dog and reincarnation that shows the principles of Buddhism. We will also read a quick fable about being giving and a good Buddhist.
Thursday we will make a Venn diagram about the two religions and we will start the movie Little Buddha. This is a story about finding a reincarnated soul and the who Buddha is with Keanu Reeves.
