Although I teach Ancient China already, my knowledge of the Chinese Philosophies was pretty much limited to a few of the books I had. So now that we have learned about Confucianism, Daoism, and Legalism, I will take my deepened knowledge on the subjects and implement them in my classroom. Normally when I teach about the philosophies, I must admit that I am not very objective. I tend to assume which of the philosophies they will like and won’t like and I kind of teach to that. This time I am attempting a new approach on how I teach them. Although no matter what I do will include some of my bias in it, rather them telling them about the philosophies I will show them. I suspect my original suspicions will remain. I think the students will like Daosim most, because they claim to hate structure, and Legalism the least because of the severity. I think most students will be fine with Confuciansim, but they will prefer Daoism.
