Today in Humanities class we mainly talked about adopt-a-family. While we were talking, we noticed that there was a problem: not everyone brought their money, so we have insufficient funds. We only had $200, instead of our goal of $300. We tried to find a solution to the problem; a lot of people volunteered to bring toddler clothes, as well as toys and gifts for both the mother and the son. Ms. Lees also read from a handout and told us which of the three HACE assignments (October, or the two November assignments we had) we didn't do, needed to improve upon, or handed in late. Later, someone mentioned that they didn't know where to find the HACE assignments, so Ms. Lees went over where to find HACE assignments (via Ms. Caldwell's FH learn blog) and our FH learn blogs in general. We also talked about our e-portfolios, and watched two videos about two universities introducing them. Then, we went back to our conversation about adopt-a-family and planned out who would buy food, clothing, etc., with the money that we had. Lastly, we handed in our Outsiders questions from chapters 1 to 8.
We talked about the adopt-a-family issue so we could try to fix the problem (insufficient funds) that we had, and came up with a solution. We discussed what gifts to bring and who would be buying what so we could organize ourselves better when we shop (so we wouldn't buy the same things, etc.). We went over who did or didn't finish their HACE assignments so the students could get a better idea of what they needed to get done for the following Friday. We talked about where to find the HACE assignments so the people who didn't know would now know where their future HACE assignments came from. The purpose of showing us why we need to use the FH learn blogs and the e-portfolios in general was because the students could know what the purpose of storing work online instead of on paper. Some connections outside of Humanities include knowing how to blog for pure enjoyment, setting up a digital persona via the FH learn blogs, and organizing your work on an electronic website, such as an e-portfolio.
We had homework, and that was to finish the chapter 9 questions of "The Outsiders" by Monday, and to finish questions 10--12 of "The Outsiders" by Tuesday. Also, if you did not finish your HACE assignment, all assignments will be due on Friday (Ms. Caldwell should have e-mailed you back to tell you what you need to improve on your assignment if you don't know what you need to improve upon for your HACE assignment)!
