TEACHING ABOUT EAST ASIA


JOURNAL ASSIGNMENT SEVEN

Choose an aspect of Chinese civilization to explore in a classroom setting through the application of Confucian philosophical principles and/or perspectives.

How did such principles or perspectives, for instance, impact the functioning of traditional Chinese government? ... the contemporary Chinese family? ... Chinese economic development patterns through the centuries? ... the preservation of the elite Great Tradition? ... the rise of communism in the early twentieth century?

Outline the Confucian interactions and influences you would stress in any such consideration, the resources you would employ and the instructional strategies you would utilize.
