Response to Mencius's story

[Jennifer Chang]

Thanks for sharing! This is going to my second year teaching Ancient China, and I have been looking for resources to better teach Confucianism with my 6th graders. I will definitely be using the Mencius' story as a reference when teaching Confucianism this upcoming school year. Maybe as an introduction and hook, I will have the students analyze the pictures without telling them the stories first, and see what they come up with. Then we can analyze the stories and have them come up with the values that are shown in the story.
