I was just about to post the same thing! And my favorite thing this year would probably be one of the debates we had. I can't even choose they are always so entertaining. I also really liked the Kawabata Art project.
Yeah i agree with Carson, the Kawabata art project was a lot of fun and I really do wish we could have done more projects like this so that some of us could express more of our creative side instead of our intellectual side.
I really enjoyed the simulations we did for WWI and WWII. It was really fun to pretend to be Germany, or GB, or the USSR, and many of those simulations got incredibly heated. However the simulations were less stressful than debates because you were representing a "character" instead of arguing a particular view for a debate. I loved all the simulations we did this year!
I agree with Emily on this one! I loved the simulations because I loved being a diplomat who went from country to country. It was really fun persuading other countries to give my country stuff when in reality I was just totally lying to them the whole time! I also really enjoyed the Kawabata Art project because it was really fun interpreting the short stories we read because of how many ways you actually could interpret them. It was fun to read them and then it was even more fun to draw pictures of the descriptive writing and make it your own.
I really enjoyed a lot of the readings we did. My favorite book this year was Of Love and Other Demons. I actually really enjoyed Shakespeare's sonnets and the romantic poetry; especially after we read and analyzed them in class, because I could better appreciate their beauty and their messages.
I thought Maus was really interesting because of how different of a book it was. I really liked a lot of the graded discussions we had because we could relate different books we read to each other.
I really liked that article that we read for last friday! I wish we read more modern articles that ties everything in from this year, it was really interesting
I rather enjoyed the Kawabata art project; it was a fun assignment to work on (and art is one of the things i'm kinda good at). i loved the books Maus and the Stranger, as they were both rather different from most of the other books we had read. and finally, our country conferences i found quite educational and entertaining as it helped us see how these old agreements were made, and alex showing us her plans on world domination.
I enjoyed the Kawabata Art Project we did and I wish we did more projects that involved more than just writing!

ReplyDeleteI really liked the Yalta Conference. I'm not sure if that's the one that I ruined by declaring war on everyone but if it is then that's my favorite!
