I would like to create a lesson plan that discusses major Asian ideologies. One thing that seems to be universally true throughout Asia is that people rarely follow just one ideology. Most of the time, asian men and women show loyalty to different ideologies depending on the situation.
This same phenomenon can be found in Asian movies - especially anime. I realized this when I was discussing the movie "Princess Mononoke" with a colleague. I could not decide which line of thought the movie followed. I quickly realized that it mixed and matched them all.
My basic idea is to have students watch an anime movie and discuss the different asian ideologies that are found in the film. I would like to assign short homework assignment and then have some sort of class discussion or debate on our finding. MY STRUGGLE LIES IN FINDING A FUN AND ENGAGING WAY TO DO THIS. I would appreciate any ideas you all have for this! Thank you!
