Student Engagement (Critical-Thinking & Student Activities)
During the lecture, students will complete guided notes that help them organize and record key information from the lecture. The guided notes will follow the lecture and will incorporate comprehension questions (students will identify which beliefs belong to each philosopher) and critical-thinking questions (students will interpret a set of quotes and determine who would have said each – Confucius, Buddha or Lao-tze).
