World’s Wisdom

Chapter 1 Hinduism, Introduction and Selections #1, 6-24

Chapter 2 “Buddhism, Introduction and Selections #1-39, 45-53.

This week, we will have one discussion board and be looking at a hypothetical scenario between an imaginary teacher and their imaginary students.  You will assume the role of the teacher and guide your students by using the assigned texts for Week 3.

Love you all!

Cheers,
