East Asian Religions Unit: Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Shintoism

Your students will practice reading, evidence based writing, and critical thinking skills in this complete East Asian Religion Unit (all common core aligned!)

Start the unit with a one-class stations activity that introduce the students to the basics of each religions.

Delve deeper into each topic with a complete reading, close reading worksheet, a visual organizer, and a document based question worksheet! The document based questions are a great way to check their knowledge and encourage cross-curricular writing skills in the middle school levels!

Check their knowledge with mini-quizzes throughout the unit.
