These projects, for the most part, focus on ethical and sociological issues of the students' choices. The projects will be due shortly after we return from winter break. Commonplace books are due on a weekly basis, unless students are told otherwise. There will be one or two unit tests, as well as a binder check. Students do a daily written response on a piece of art, music, literature, or a current event, which counts as a daily grade.
Students enrich our class activities with mini-reports prepared during class trips to the library.
Keep your binders in good order and up to date. Get notes from a friend if you are absent. During 3rd quarter we will continue our journey through Western culture, particularly British and American culture, beginning with the Victorian era. Some of these artistic movements carried on well into the 20th century. Your quarter project will be on one of these two areas.
