Your final exam will be, for the most part, a test on the Eastern lit unit we just completed. It will also include a cumulative time line and a review of major worldview terms.
TIMELINE: From Adam to Superman.
WORLDVIEW TERMS: *polytheism, *pantheism, *monotheism, *atheism, animism, agnosticism (*and be able to apply these terms to cultures we've studied this year)
EASTERN LIT SCOPE & TERMS:
Hinduism -- caste, dharma, karma, reincarnation, Brahma, Krishna, Pandava brothers, Arjuna, Mahabarata - Indian epic (Gita - holiest part)
Taoism -- the tao (the way), yin/yang, balance, pu, Tao te Ching, Lao Tzu (and Winnie the Pooh!)
Buddhism -- Zen, haiku, Noh drama, Atsumori, samurai, suffering (four noble truths), Tibetan singing bowl (the void), reincarnation, karma
The test will be on the lower and middle levels of Bloom -- I will not have time to grade essay responses on the upper level. You can count on our traditional time line format, fill-in-the-blank term ID's, possibly a worldview matching exercise, and some middle level questions that ask you to apply religious and literary analysis to your knowledge of the literature selections.
