Video assignment

1. Create two colomns in your notebook
2. 1st colomn = new concepts to learn
3. 2nd colomn = concepts I already know

Homework

1. The teacher hands out a copy of a Vihara Floorplan
2. On Teams read the 'Visiting a Vihara' information sheet.
3. Using the information and the floor plan, write a Visitors’ Guide to the Vihara.
4. think of proper behaviour, objects, spirituality and meditation

 

This should provide visitors with the information they need about how to behave (e.g. shoes off, be quiet), but it should also describe how the different parts of the Vihara, and the objects in it, encourage spirituality and meditation.

To conlude

• Place a seat in a prominent position facing the class.
• Explain that the seat has been imbued with magical qualities and that anyone who sits in it becomes a member of the local vihara.
• Ask for a volunteer to sit in it.
• Ask the volunteer questions about the lesson.
• The volunteer must answer in character.
• You could open the questioning to other students, but stress that the questions must be about what was covered in the lesson!
• Don’t let it go on too long, and change volunteer often.
