Scholars ponder the beliefs of Confucianism. After reading several sayings made by Confucius, participants complete a chart filling in what each saying means using their own words. Using the same quotes split in half, pairs match beginnings to ends. Two informative articles offer different points of view on the way Confucianism is part of current Chinese culture in which learners examine and reflect upon in paragraph form.
