This week we have been discussing the origins of Buddhism and the teachings of Siddartha Gatama. We watched part of a documentary on Buddhism that I highly recommend, if you are interested in the topic. PBS Documentary on Buddhism
The students will also be learning about British Imperialism and colonial India. We will watch a scene from the movie Gandhi (1982) and touch (briefly) on Gandhi's influence in India and throughout the world. While it is lengthy, it does a wonderful job of depicting the circumstances in India and the origins of non-violent protest. If you (or your child) have not seen it, it would be a great way to spend an evening as a family.
