In A term, our first unit in Humanities was centered on education. We had to write essays on a topic of our choosing, but related to the unit we were covering. I chose to address the downsides of politics impacting public education in America. Read my essay here!
Over the summer, everyone had to read Henry David Thoreau’s book, Walden. As a way of making a bit of light out of the complex and dense book, we performed skits relating to the messages of the book. My group’s skit was about Henry in a talk show setting interviewing modern day celebrities and being horribly disappointed when they don’t share his ideals. Notable characters are Kim Kardashian, Jake Paul, and Elon Musk.
