And the fun continues....
The Buddhism II presentation is posted below. You should already have the notes pages for this one because you are picking up with question #224 on p.31 for this one, but if you don't they are linked below the title. Print them out, and answer the questions using the presentation. Keep in mind that you'll be needing those handwritten notes in the future...
Once you finish this presentation, it's time for you to take a look at the Buddhism Primary Source Readings. The routine is as it was in class- the reading is posted in Google Classroom, and the Reading Question sheets are posted along with it. Print out the questions, and answer them in your own words and in writing (not typed, not in Kami). As far as due dates go, I'll be expecting BOTH Primary Source Readings to be completed by Monday, March 30. How will you submit them? I'm working on that.

Once you've finished with the video, below I've embedded a little quiz, just to test your knowledge. Take it if you wish...it's not required, and I don't see your grade. It's just a way to see what you learned. There are also some question below the quiz which you might want to contemplate...they might eventually make their way onto a test in the future...
