Lesson One: Foundational Concepts and Questions

Objectives:

• Introduce students to many foundational concepts in Hindu philosophy.
• Encourage students to think about how those concepts might impact the culture of Hindu society.

Procedure:

Spend one class discussing the foundational concepts outline.

During the next class, assign each student one of the four foundational questions. Ask students to free write for 15-20 minutes on the questions and discuss their answers with the other students assigned their question before a full class discussion of all questions.

Assessment:

Ask students to write a 1-2 page response paper, giving students a choice between the four foundational questions.
