Introduce the class to the Five Constant
Virtues of Confucianism which are
benevolence, righteousness, propriety,
wisdom, and faithfulness. Explain how
these virtues are interconnected with one
another and how they form the basis of
Confucianism.
Next, introduce the concept of Yin and
Yang from Taoism. Discuss how these
concepts balance each other and are
found in all aspects of life. Discuss how
Yin represents the feminine energy, and
Yang represents the masculine energy.
Divide the class into groups of three and
assign each group one religion to
research. Ask the groups to prepare a
brief presentation on the unique features
and similarities of the religion to the rest
of the class. Each group should present
their findings for 5 minutes.
Have the students discuss how they can
apply the concepts they learned from
Confucianism, Taoism and Shintoism in
their daily lives. Ask them to give
examples of how they can practice the

Make sure that the test covers all the
topics that were discussed throughout the

For those who want to apply their
knowledge further, you can research
more about the differences between these
religions and how they have influenced
the cultures and traditions of Asia. For
those who need remediation, you can
review the graphic organizer and identify
which similarities and concepts you find
