Standard GS-1.4 Explain the impact of religion in classical Indian civilization, including Hinduism and the effects of its beliefs and practices on daily life, changes that occurred as a result of Buddhist teachings, and the influence of religion on culture and politics.
Once students have learned the basics for Hinduism and Buddhism they will be asked to review the information they have learned through poetry. Students will take the letters that spell the two religions and write them down the left side of a piece of paper to create a framework for an acrostic poem. Students will write phrases or sentences about that religion beginning with each letter that spells out the word. The following is a compilation of some of the statements that my students came up with for Hinduism:
H indus believe in reincarnation
I ndia is where Hinduism was born
N on-violence is called ahimsa
D harma is the divine law
U nion through yoga
I ndividual souls are reborn in different forms after death
S hiva, Brahma, and Vishnu are three major gods
M oksha is escape from the cycle of rebirth
B uddha is the Enlightened One
U nderstanding suffering in the Four Noble Truths
D harma is not connected to the caste system
D o not believe in violence
H ope of Nirvana for all
I ndia is where Buddhsm began
S acred text called Tripitaka
M iddle Way or Eightfold Path

Hinduism was born in India when the Aryans migrated to Northern India.
In Hindu religion the Vedas was a sacred text that described the caste system and basic beliefs of Hinduism
Now day’s people still consider the Vedas as a secret text but central beliefs and religious practices like Festival of Lights, religious journeys and having a connection with Brahma have advanced.
Dharma is the law and obligation and each person must follow their class’s dharma and common dharma in order there to be harmony.
Under the Karma belief you will be reborn into a new body, but the class that you’re in depends how much wicked or good you have done.
In Hindu Brahman means supreme power and Brahman is believed to exist forever because he is part of everything in the world and without him there shall be nothing.
Samsara is the cycle of birth, death and rebirth and on Earth they feel death and pain but they can escape to Brahman by following the basic beliefs of Hinduism.
Multiple gods were worshipped in sacred text and each of their powers represented an ability of Brahman.
