The Chinese philosophy section of our large binder has great resources. I have a test on the 4 Schools of thought on Friday. I was going to use the standard material for the test, but in reading the primary source documents from the teachers of these schools, I got an idea to use direct quotes from Confucius and all other notable philosophers, and will have my students identify the correct school of thought from each quote. Sort of a profound matching segment for my 6th graders. The quotes are amazing, and fully illustrate the various ideas of government, education, human nature, etc.. Hopefully my students will become good at identifying and applying the 4 schools to their thought process.[Edit by="tstevenson on Feb 26, 11:17:18 PM"][/Edit]
