Assigned: Write your own maxim or anecdote, due Friday.

Maxim or Anecdote Assignment

1. Your assignment is to write your own maxim or anecdote in the style of the Taoist anecdotes or the analects.

2. Your maxim or anecdote should make some kind of a point about life and how people should live it.

3. It can be based on Daoism or Confucian thought, but it does not have to be. It can be based on other philosophies or your own ideas.

What you will turn in:

1. Your maxim or anecdote written or typed neatly on a sheet of paper. You are encouraged to decorate and or illustrate the maxim/anecdote as well.

2. On the back or on another paper you will include a 1 paragraph explanation of your maxim/anecdote that more completely explain the point. This paragraph should also either explain HOW your point of view is similar to Daoism or Confucianism OR HOW it is different. This should demonstrate your understanding of those philosophies

Due date: Friday, January 8th
