A LITTLE THOUGHT ABOUT THANKSGIVING FROM RECENT HUMANITIES GRADUATE, WILLA CHEN
Willa is now a student at Princeton and has been publishing "Willa's World" for the last couple of years. This comic is a thought-provoking one as we all count our blessings this holiday weekend. Thanks, Willa!

ANNOUNCEMENTS 11/19/12

CALENDAR AND TUESDAY'S HOMEWORK
The calendar might be a little confusing for you now because we've changed the test date. Here are the details:

Tuesday, 11/20
Small Group Teacher's choice. Bring your Norton! The assignment titled "5 Theses" is only due if your teacher specifically gave you instructions to do it. For example, Bates students, you have already completed this activity in small group with a sub, so you do not need to do it. Lang and Welker students, if your teacher didn't give you specific instructions for a thesis assignment, it is not due tomorrow.

Thanksgiving Break, 11/21-11/25
Don't forget you have two more outside activity logs due on 12/18. You also have your costume plan and annotated works cited due on 12/4. If you have some time, you might want to get started on one or both. Most importantly, the study guide for this year's test has already been posted, and we have given you the essay exam prompt. Try doing some practice paragraphs! Most importantly, take some time to rest, count your blessings, and enjoy your family time (and alone time)!

Monday through Thursday, 11/26-11/29
The current calendar should be ignored. It is "teacher's choice" on these days. Bring all your notes and your Norton every day as you finish this units material and prepare for Friday's exam. [The Aeneid study guides won't be due until we start Unit 3. A new calendar is coming.]


BATES STUDENTS ONLY
The grade book is now updated except for the note cards, Good/True/Beautiful philosophy paper, and logs. Take a look and make sure you got credit for all those study guides! Also, don't forget to pick up all your study guides in small group on Tuesday so you have them to study over the break. There is a big pile of things to return to you.





ANNOUNCEMENTS 11/15/12

LORD OF THE FLIES BOOKS
Please, please, please bring your Lord of the Flies book to large group with you tomorrow (Friday). We will put them in a box and deliver them to the book room for you! Thank you!


NEW DATE FOR TEST
There's a new date for Unit Test 2. It will be on Friday, 11/30. The Aeneid study guides won't be due until the following week. We will just have more small groups that week to catch up on everything.


NEW TEST STUDY GUIDE: UPDATED FOR 2012
The new test study guide is now updated for 2012. The essay prompt is included. It is the last document under Unit 2 Handouts. Enjoy! [wink, wink]


HOW TO FIND THE GREEK ART AND ARCHITECTURE POWERPOINT
The Greek art and architecture Powerpoint is on Moodle/ePark on the class page for Humanities. There is no class key to enter the Humanities page. You just need to know your login for the Moodle site itself. See the RESOURCES ON MOODLE / E-PARK tab to the left for how to login to Moodle.

The one problem with TeacherWeb is that it has a limited storage capacity. That's why we use Moodle as a dumping ground for any files too big to fit on TeacherWeb. There are a lot of old files there, but to find today's Powerpoint, do the following:

a) When you get the Humanities page, scroll down to Unit 2: Ancient Greece.
b) Download the first two documents. They are titled as follows:
Ancient Greek Architecture and Sculpture PART 1 (required) Powerpoint presentation
and
Ancient Greek Architecture and Sculpture PART 2 (required) Powerpoint presentation

The Powerpoint is a huge file, so we had to divide it into two parts. If you are having trouble opening these two files, consider the following:

a) Because these are massive files, it may appear a file is not downloading when in fact it is just downloading very slowly. Check the progress monitor on your computer to see if it's busy downloading the file.
b) You may not have a compatible Powerpoint program on your computer. The files download properly on some people's computers, so they should download correctly on yours unless you have this problem. If the Powerpoint file can't be opened on your computer, let a teacher know, and we will try to load a PDF version of the Powerpoint.


INDIAN DANCE LOG THIS SATURDAY AT U OF M
A former Humanities student sent this information about an Indian Classical Dance performance at the University of Michigan's North Campus this Saturday (11/17) at 7pm.. It's college level performers, and it looks like a fantastic experience. Students who have gone to these events at U of M in the past have said the talent is incredible. This log counts a 6 for quality points (higher than local amateur theater and lower than professional). You can always make up those 4 points with an extra credit dress-up day. Go have some fun at this event!
http://michigansahana.com/events/


NEW VERSION OF ADOPT-A-MURAL SPREADSHEET
An up-to-date version of the Adopt-a-Mural Spreadsheet has just been posted under Log Instructions and Handouts. Don't forget to follow the specific instructions for sending an e-mail to Ms. Welker (even if you've already received an e-mail from the student managers of the program).





ANNOUNCEMENTS 11/12/12

LORD OF THE FLIES BOOKS
Please return your Lord of the Flies book to the book room ASAP. Another class needs to use them by the end of this week, and there aren't any books available. Thank you!





ANNOUNCEMENTS 11/11/12

LARGE GROUP ON MONDAY
Don't forget we have a large group about the character project on Monday. We will see you in the upper auditorium.


BATES STUDENTS ONLY
From Mrs. Bates: I forgot to tell the sub to collect your Book IX study guides on Friday, so, although many of you turned it in, I will still accept it on Monday for full credit (along with your Book XXII study guides). See you then!


EXAM 2 STUDY GUIDE
Last year's copy of the exam study guide is now posted under Unit 2 Handouts. This year's test will be very similar to last year's, so if you want to start studying early, this should help you. An updated version of the study guide will be posted once the test is written.


MARCHING BAND CONGRATS
Congratulations to the PCMB marching band: first in the state, first time in Nationals finals since 2008, and 12th in the nation!





ANNOUNCEMENTS 11/10/12

GRADES ON ZANGLE
The Zangle program has not been allowing students to see their assignments from the first marking period. The problem was just fixed in the last 24 hours, but now each of your teachers much go into Zangle and change a setting. Ms. Bates has made this change and other teachers will do so soon. If you still can't see your assignments in Zangle, let your teacher know!


ADOPT-A-MURAL
A new copy of the Adopt-a-Mural spreadsheet shows all the students who are currently assigned a mural. If you have not yet made arrangements to do an hour of service to the Humanities community, please be sure to sign up by Monday, 11/12/12. Your teachers will not have time to scrounge up other service opportunities for you, so please be proactive about this! You can't afford not to get the points for this log! Even if your name is on the spreadsheet, if you have not e-mailed Ms. Welker with your mural assignment, you must do so immediately. Please follow the instructions precisely (see below or the Adopt-a-Mural instruction handout).


HOW TO REQUEST OR CONFIRM YOUR REQUEST TO ADOPT A MURAL

ART LOG OPPORTUNITY: THE BROAD MUSEUM AT MSU
This weekend is the opening of the exciting new Broad Art Museum at MSU! From their web site: The Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University is committed to exploring international contemporary culture and ideas through art. Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid, the museum features a striking faÃÆ'Æ'Æ'ÃÆ'ââ'¬ 'ÃÆ'Æ''ÃÆ''Ã'Ã'§ade of pleated stainless steel and glass, signaling the museum and the university's dynamic vision. More than 70 percent of the 46,000-square-foot facility is dedicated to exhibition space. The museum is named for Eli and Edythe Broad, longtime supporters of Michigan State University, who provided the lead gift for the museum.

Although you can visit any time, this weekend's activities and special events/lectures can be found here:
http://news.msu.edu/story/broad-art-museum-at-msu-to-host-opening-weekend-events/

Here's a message from former Humanities student, Irene Li, now a student at MSU:

"I just wanted to let you (and the PCEP Humanities community!) know about the new contemporary art museum here at MSU. The Broad is opening this weekend (to much fanfare and anticipation!!!) and I thought that it would be a wonderful log opportunity for anyone willing to make the drive!

Here's the website to the Broad: http://broadmuseum.msu.edu/

Since I'm in the student group for the Broad, I was able to take a tour of the museum a couple weeks ago and I can definitely attest to the vision in its construction and architecture as well as the quality of the upcoming exhibits. There's a giant boat made out of salt! There are also triptychs, works by Dali and Manet, and for those who like multimedia exhibitsthere's an entire gallery of videos from different cultural perspectives.

Needless to say, it's packed full of possible ideas - the architecture of the building itself could probably merit a nice discussion - and I really wanted to share it since I am happily anticipating its opening this weekend :)

I send my best regards and wishes to everyone at PCEP! I miss Humanities quite a bit."


HURRICANE SANDY AND AN INSPIRATIONAL 19-YEAR-OLD
From Mrs. Bates: This story doesn't surprise me at all, since I witness the maturity and big-heartedness of 17 and 18-year-olds every day. But, I thought I would share the story of one young woman, Zoe Everett. Both of her parents were killed in Hurricane Sandy, leaving Zoe behind with three younger siblings. If you're having a rough day, maybe you can take some strength from her story:

ANNOUNCEMENTS 11/8/12

BATES STUDENTS ONLY: BRING TO CLASS TOMORROW
Bates students, please bring the following items to class tomorrow:
a) Colored markers, pencils, and crayons
b) Print-out of the Plato's Republic reading (found under Unit 2 Handouts)
c) Unit IX Study Guide (found under Unit 2 Handouts)


ADOPT-A-MURAL UPDATE
A new spreadsheet has been posted on the web site with the mural assignments for the Adopt-a-Mural program for the one hour of Humanities service. It can be found under the tab titled LOG INSTRUCTIONS AND HANDOUTS.

Please check to see where your name is located. It may be that the mural you requested was not available, so a different mural was assigned. All new students on the list should have received a confirmation e-mail today. Chris Bir, Kyle Winters, and James Bushaw, your e-mails were not working. Please send an e-mail immediately (copied to both Ms. Bates and Ms. Welker) so we can reach you in the future and confirm your mural location. All students who are new to the list must send an e-mail to Ms. Welker by this weekend confirming that you accept the assignment shown on the web site. This will also make it possible for Ms. Welker to press "Reply" in the future to send you information about your mural.

Lastly, please re-read the instructions for how to take care of your mural so you complete and document the task correctly. Thank you!

If you miss the Unit 1 Test for Humanities due to an excused absence, the make-up test will be tomorrow, Tuesday, October 23rd, right after school in Ms. Lang's room (2304 -- in the small hallway in the middle of the second floor of Salem). The multiple choice section will be replaced by similar questions that you will need to answer with short answers by filling in blanks, so make sure you study the names of works, characters, and locations so you can recall them easily. The essay portion of the exam will use the same prompt as the one shown on your study guide (no change).


BATES STUDENTS ONLY: OEDIPUS PLAY PREPARATIONS FOR TUESDAY, 10/23
Bates students only: Please remember the following for Tuesday's Oedipus play:
1) All students are excused from their 5th and 6th hours so they can be present for the entire 2-hour play. This is an in-school field trip. Come early for 5th hour, if possible. At the very least, be on time and fully dressed, with your script in your hand, ready to perform. There will not be any time for putting on costumes, organizing props, etc., so get dressed before school or during lunch.
2) If you have props or other items to store, do not put them in Ms. Bates's classroom. Instead, store them in the kitchen area down the little hall from her room.
3) If you want extra credit for dressing up all day, print the last page of the instruction packet and get your 1st through 4th hour teachers to sign it.
4) You will be graded on:
a) getting a cast/jobs list to Ms. Bates via e-mail
b) footwear and robes (follows school dress code; coordinated throughout your group)
c) clarity and volume of voices
d) being well-prepared, e.g., pronouncing names and words correctly (look them up!)
e) speaking your lines confidently and with feeling
f) being engaged in the performance even when you are not speaking (not breaking character or giggling)
g) getting on and off stage in the allotted time
h) being a good audience member when other groups are performing
i) following all the rules and requirements in the instruction packet [If nobody in your group has read the instruction packet, now would be a good time!]
j) going BIG and making us feel the feelings of the characters (a requirement for an A+)

NEW UNIT 2 CALENDAR

Your first ten note cards for the character project are now due on Friday, 10/26. You should have at least one source card with full citation information for one source. You should also have at least nine information cards with one significant "chunk" of information, briefly stated, as well as the topic, sub-topic, source code, and page number on the front.

AMAZING ART LOG OPPORTUNITY: MANET

The Toledo Museum of Art has a fantastic Manet exhibit that just opened this weekend. It focuses on portraits and an especially interesting aspect is that for many of the paintings they also display photographs of the people depicted in the paintings. Ms. Sutherland is a member and went last weekend during a preview. She highly recommends it!

http://www.toledomuseum.org/

Also, here is a link to all the fun things that happen on Friday nights at the Toledo Art Museum. The gallery talks and films would count as logs: http://www.toledomuseum.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/October-2012-bimonthly.pdf
