Hi all,
This past week in Humanities has been a bit of a mixed bag. We are slowly piecing together our middle ages projects. The ones that have been handed in are exceptional. Don't forget to hand in a brief write up on your project as well.
We have also looked at Heraldry. We then created a personalized shield or "coat of arms." Students were given a template and were asked to divide their shields into four quadrants. Things to include are: your spirit animal, sports or hobbies, friends and family, place. Place can be country, heritage, city or home. The final piece of this assignment is to include a motto at the bottom of their shield.
Today was a break from the middle ages. Students were to find a current event and report on it. Using our templates for current events, students were given a block to find and report on an event of their choice. Along with a brief summary, students must answer two of the four reflection questions. This would allow for some critical thinking as well as working with a deadline.
Tuesday and Wednesday's class will be a vocabulary test, a small unit final, and the creation of their own "Code of Ethics." Thursday and Friday students will be watching the movie A Night's Tale. The week before Spring Break will be a brief overview of World Religions.
Keep up the great work!
