Syntax - Procedures

1. Whole-Class Instruction:

a.Teacher Instructions

1.Teacher will discuss with students depictions of Hinduism and

Buddhism in the media as shown on SMARTBoard(Resource 1 - Depictions Pictures). With each picture, the class should discuss differences from what they know about Buddhism and Hinduism so far, what questions they have, and differences and similarities from other religions that they know about (such as Christianity).

2.Discussion questions:

"What do you already know about (Hinduism/Buddhism) that is presented in this image?" "What questions do you want answers to for this image?" (Such as why Vishnu has four arms, etc.) "What, if any, similarities do you see to other religions we have studied? Differences?" b.Resource

1.Resources 1-6 - Depictions (6 images)

a. Lakshmi, Hindu Goddess of Wealth and Purity b. Brahma, Hindu Creator of the World c. Shiva, Hindu Destroyer of the World d. Vishnu, Hindu Preserver of the World e. Buddha Statue at Kathmandu, Nepal f. Lotus Position Example - Meditation c.Student Activity

1.Students will view images on board with Teacher, and answer the

discussion questions as an anticipatory set to set the stage for the readings.

2.Small-Group/Cooperative Learning Instruction:

a.Teacher Instructions

1.Students will read Resource 7 - Hinduism Reading and Resource

8 - Buddhism Reading in small groups of 2 or 3. Teacher should

instruct students to read out loud and discuss issues as they come up. Some of the vocabulary is somewhat difficult, so scaffolding and support by the teacher will be needed during this process. A vocabulary list on the board would most likely be helpful.

2.Teacher will instruct students to, as they read, look for the gods

and people previously mentioned in Resources 1-6, to "put a face to the name," so to speak. b.Resource

1.Resource 7 - Hinduism Reading

2.Resource 8 - Buddhism Reading

c.Student Activity

1.Students will, in groups, read through the Hinduism and Buddhism

readings out loud. By working in groups, students should be able to figure out any difficult language via context clues and discussion.

2.Students will identify the visual images from Resources 1-6 based

on their descriptions as they come up in the texts.

3.Individualized Instruction:

a.Teacher Instructions

1.Teacher will instruct students to separate back in to individual

seats.

2.Teacher will instruct students to write down the main differences

between Hinduism and Buddhism by using both readings and their prior knowledge, as well as discussion in class. These differences and similarities will be put onto their Double Bubble map (Resource

9), to be handed out by the teacher.

3.Teacher will instruct students that the two main topics will go in the

large side bubbles, while differences will go on the outside of the bubbles, and similarities will go on the connecting inside bubbles. An example has been provided in the template sheet.

4.Teacher will instruct students to hand in their sheets for a formal

assessment of what has been learned. b.Resource

1.Resource 7 - Hinduism Reading

2.Resource 8- Buddhism Reading

3.Resource 9 - Double Bubble Map

c.Student Activity

1.Students will use their readings and notes (individually) to

determine the differences and similarities between Buddhism and

Hinduism.

2.Students will fill out a "Double Bubble" map to connect their

knowledge of each religion historically and ideologically.

3.Students will be instructed to hand these in for formal assessment

at the end of class. Assessment will be based on accuracy of details, amount of bubbles completed, and detail provided in bubbles.
