About the Author

For My Students

Welcome!

This page is primarily intended as a resource for teachers of World History at the high school level. It organizes lesson plans and other materials for teaching Hinduism and Buddhism into the categories of history, world view, and ritual. These categories are simply an organizational device and do not reflect a corresponding division or distinction in the religious traditions themselves. I find these categories useful for approaching the study of a religious tradition as I think it is essential for students to:

• understand the context of a religious tradition's historical development
• see how a religious tradition answers the fundamental questions of the human experience
• be aware of how the tradition's ritual practices enhance the fabric of people's daily lives.

Teachers will find content, assessments, activities and resources for teaching students about the Hindu and Buddhist traditions by following the links to the left.
