Our studies on Ancient India were fascinating, and so colorful!
We learned all about Hinduism,
a religion with over 300 million deities!
Lu takes graphic notes as we read,
and then combines them into a final poster.
As we learned about the Mauryan Empire and Asoka,
we also learned about Buddhism.
We watched BBC's 6-part The Story of India,
and we did a jump in time and researched the life of Gandhi.
Finally, Lu created a timeline of one thousand years,
through the collapse of the Gupta Empire.
Lu was quite taken with the story of Prince Siddhartha and the idea of enlightenment. One evening, he took the yoga mat into his room, lit a candle and an incense stick, and proceeded to meditate in the cross-legged with elaborate hand position of the Buddha, whose google image he was sitting in front of on his i-pad. It was cute, and weird, and funny all at the same time.
