This is your new blog post. Click here and start typing, or drag in elements from the top bar. Click HERE <<< to go to Calendars and download/print our new reading calendar.
Please read BEFORE the day of the lecture. The reading that is posted on specific days, is the PREVIOUS night's homework. For example: On Monday 1/30 the reading is for pages 421-425. That means you read 421-425 on the night of 1/29. 1. Check this site frequently for new updates in specific chapter sections and HERE in the Announcements! to not miss anything super important.
2. I modified what you should be doing for your flash cards, check >>> Chapter 12 above the Overview for the list. 3. Check Grade Book Wizard to make sure you're not missing assignments. I know I skipped over a few of you who for the Late Antiquity Crossword Puzzle. Make a little list and come talk to me AT THE END OF CLASS, DURING SNACK and we'll work it out to let you turn things in late. 1. Fun activities go a LONG way! Not only do you remember facts but it's fun to laugh and learn at the same time! :)
2. You may not read off the slides, and notecards are great! but...make sure you're not completely reading off of notes either. (You go too fast and it's hard to pick out what's important) 3. BE PREPARED! Have everything emailed to me the night before so I have a chance to copy everything. 4. COMMUNICATE! Talk to each other and make sure that if you say you're going to do something- do it! Keep each other accountable and make sure you're actually in class to present! 5. Side Note: I do not have "Keynote" on my computer. You can work on presentation in Google Docs, which is great but you need to email me your final presentation in either ppt or a pdf. You can download your presentation in Google Docs as a PowerPoint and then email that one to me. 6. KNOW YOUR STUFF! The best presentations are the ones where you're really explaining in your own words the information and explaining the whys. It sounds more natural and allows your audience to process and to write down information. GOOD WORK TODAY! 1. When talking about architecture, the notes you would have on a slide, keep as notes for yourself. (keeps people on their toes and they have to listen to you closer). Go through multiple pictures of exterior and interior complexes (especially major ones) and explain the different parts.
2. Keep words on slides to a minimum. 3. Keep fun activities on a tight schedule (well done first group). 4. Starting tomorrow I'll hold "5 minutes", "3 minutes", and "Wrap Up" signs to let you know how much time you have. 5. Review the DOs and DON'Ts of PPT Presentations that can be found on your chapter page :) 6. Get creative! GREAT JOB FIRST GROUPS!!! REMEMBER: YOU'RE GRADED INDIVIDUALLY BUT YOUR GROUP DOES INFLUENCE HOW YOU PRESENT. HAVE LOTS OF GUSTO! For those of you awesome students who are checking this site regularly now... I have posted the list of artworks you're all responsible for within each non-western chapter (13, 14, and 15).
Click there>> for Chapter 13, Chapter 14, Chapter 15. You can also go directly to the Chapter Information tab at the top of the page and scroll down to individual chapters. I will also be working very hard to grade your tests and get this site updated as much as I can in a few days. It's going to take a while so, be patient with me but I hope this becomes a site that we can really use together and you can use to really help you study for the exam! Happy Holidays and have a wonderful break! You've had a really great first semester and I thank you for making my first semester at Costa so memorable! Remember- if you need anything during the break (because the district email is unreliable during at my house, email me at msparkapah@gmail.com) First post on my new super awesome website! Yes! That's right, Ms. Park is cool. Get ready to be blown away by the world of Art History!!!
