Humanities
CNN Photos
|
One of our assignments we did in humanities was CNN Photos. CNN Photos is when we sit down as a class and look through 30 or so significant photos from around the world the week before. While we are looking through these, we choose 4 of our favorites photos and write a description of the photo in our words. Our goal was that if you were reading our descriptions, you would be able to see the pictures in your head. I really enjoyed CNN Photos because I was able to see what was going on around the world and get informed on all of the situations.

This is my reflection for CNN Photos.
Book Critique
Another one of the assignments we did in humanities this year was our book critiques. Book critiques are required for us to get a passing grade in this class. In a book critique, we read a book (of our choice) and once we finish that book, we anwser certain questions about the book. When we finsh our questions, we sit down with Mr. Aguirre and he ask's us questions about the book. I like book critiques because it forced me to start reading again and I forgot how much I enjoyed reading.
These are the 2 books I read this semester. The best one I read was, "Can I Say".
AAA
Another assigment we did in Humanities was our AAA's. AAA stands for Analyizing Authors Argument. These were defenitly the hardest assigments in this class this semster. Although these asssignments were dificult, they were very helpful. They were helpful because they improved my reading skills. This is because in AAA's, we have to thourghly examine our text to find the correct information.
Formulating Questions
The final piece of work I am going to talk about for humanities is Formulating Questions. A formulating question piece is made to help us understand a text we are reading better. In this piece, we are supposed to ask questions we had about the specific text and anwser those questions, write 5 words we didn't understand and define them, and reflect on what we leqarned from the text. I enjoyed doing formulating questions becuase it helped me to become a better reader and understand the texts I am reading(Like the AAA).
