Humanities, taught by Ms. Small, focuses on discussing overlaps between history and humanities. This class mainly consists of analyzing pieces of literature such as "A Modest Proposal" or "Friday Black," to answer the question: "What does it mean to be human?" We also write one essay for each topic discussed in Humanities. Topics we have discussed to date in Humanities are Walden, satires, and education.
During our satire unit, we paired up in groups and wrote a satirical piece on any appropriate topic. I paired up with Aishani G. and satirized how Indian parents view RSM and the culture associated with it for students. We both previously went to RSM during our childhood, so we were able to pull from our knowledge about the environment to satirize the topic. Trouble viewing the PDF? Click here!
During October break, we participated in the NYT Multimedia Challenge in groups. I paired up with Saara P. and Aishani G., and we created an art piece reflecting the nature of AI in education and how AI can change the future of education for students. We submitted this image to the NYT. Trouble viewing the PDF? Click here!
