Feynman Technique: Themes 1-3, Buddhism

Using the Feynman Technique, students will demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the following themes as they relate to Buddhism.

1. Rituals 
2. Sacred Texts 
3. Doctrines and Beliefs

Students are expected to explain their respective topics within the theme as if they were teaching it to someone. I would expect the appropriate use of language, interpretative commentary, and evidence that not only does the student know the material, but they also understand why ___________is important to the Buddhist as well. It would not hurt to try to demonstrate the relationshiop among the themes. (This would only further demonstrate your grasp on the content)

Students are to email Mr. Beller their responses by Wednesday (note: this should not be a surprise!) (dbeller2@wcpss.net)

7: Excellence beyond reproach (you should be published)

6 : Very good performance: Detailed knowledge and understanding, logically structured, appropriate terminology; analysis, evaluation and synthesis of knowledge; strong awareness of multiple perspectives; strong evidence and critical thinking

5: Good Performance: Sound knowledge and understanding; answers are logical and coherent, but could be extended; some integration of knowledge and concepts; tendency to be more descriptive than evaluative although shows contrasting views; solid evidence of critical thinking; an ability to analyze data

4: Strong Performance: Secure knowledge and understanding beyond 'common sense' points; ability to structure, but need to improve clarity and focus; ability to develop ideas, relate facts, substantiate assertions, but is more descriptive than analytical; ability to interpret data, solve problems and engage in analysis.

3: Mediocre performance:Demonstrates some knowledge and understanding; a basic use of terminology and structure; some ability to make links between facts and ideas. Assignment clearly lacks the depth of response.

2: Poor performance: limited knowledge and understanding, some sense of structure, limited use of terminology, limited ability to make links between facts and ideas. Information is very limited in depth expected for assignment.

1: Very poor performance: very limited knowledge and understanding; no clear structure, inadequate terminology, limited demonstration of understanding of data or analysis. Large gaps in demonstration or completion of expectations.
