Ancient Chinese Philosophies: Legalism, Confucianism, and Daoism

This fun, creative, simulation-based lesson is LOVED by my students - they remember it years later! Brush off your acting skills, because you'll have to try your hardest to keep a straight face as you lead students through a role play that they don't even know they're in!

Students will:
- Learn key information about and principles of the early Chinese belief systems of Legalism, Confucianism, and Daoism
- Understand how different belief systems helped to stabilize ancient Chinese dynasties and society
- Read secondary and primary sources to answer questions
- Work creatively in groups and target different learning styles
- Use a graphic organizer to cement understanding

Included:
- Detailed lesson plan
- Secondary and primary source readings and questions
- Simulation "debriefing" sheet
- Graphic organizer chart and questions that can also be used for a homework assignment
