End of First Quarter Reflection (Wk 8)

As first quarter comes to a close, reflect back on the last 9 weeks. What has gone well? What did you learn about yourself? Is there anything that you will do differently next quarter? What strategies have you applied or want to try (for organization, homework completion, test preparation, etc.)? Think about all your classes, not just LA/SS!

Remember to use proper capitalization and punctuation!

It's Greek to Me! (Week 7)

Please write a minimum of 3 sentences that explaining 2 or more ways Greece has influenced our lives. Think about art, architecture, government, drama, philosophy...and so much more! Please be specific, not general:

Poor example:  Greece has influenced us in philosophy.

Strong example (this is only for one - don't forget to do at least 2 ways!):  Greek philosophy has influenced us through the Socratic Seminar, where the focus is questioning and gaining deeper understanding instead of accepting truths at face value.

Greek Art Lit (Wk 6)

Monday in class, you learned about the art of the Ancient Greeks. Please give one fact from the presentation and then give at least two reasons what you found interesting about it.

Example:
The Golden Rectangle was found in the architecture of the Greeks. It is interesting that they focused on having a balanced view for their buildings. This shows that a sense of beauty was important to the Greeks, especially the Athenians. Using the Golden Rectangle made it so that the Greeks had beauty in their architecture.

Golden Sentences (Wk 5)

Look at your Golden Sentences from Monday - the ones your peers thought really stood out.
