8/22 HW and Review

Hey folks,
       Welcome to our class DP! You should be checking this daily to make sure you understand our homework, or if you miss class and need to know what we did.

HW due tomorrow:
  Read "Beautiful Work" (found on the class handouts sections of this site.)  If you have a printer, print out the article and underline sentences you find interesting.  If you do not have a printer, write down one or two sentences describing your reaction to the article.

Today we:
-- Went over any questions you may have had about the syllabus.
--Did skits about the class code (Be Here Now, Speak the Truth, Risk It)
--Reviewed the concept of multiple intelligences/learning styles and journaled about how you will use your
strengths as revealed by the multiple intelligence test.
--Shared strategies about how to do well in Humanities depending on our learning styles.
--Had an agree/disagree discussion about society's effects on the individual, especially on gender roles. This discussion will tie into our upcoming Socialization project, which we will begin next week.


Our first Friday Funday is tomorrow!  We will do a mini-poster project about our learning styles, learn how to annotate (mark a text), and to have our first Socratic Seminar (I'll explain tomorrow!)  Don't forget that you MUST HAVE a binder with the required dividers by Monday.
See you then-Matt
