MUST WATCH: DEREK GORES Images Under the laws of fair use, as an artist you can use almost any image you find, as long as you add to or change it significantly. This is known as “transformative use,” defined as: ” The new work adds something new, and alters the original work while adding a new expression or message. Other considerations include commercial vs. nonprofit use, and the potential for the new work to impinge upon the market of the original. The point is, you should feel free to use ANY image you like for this project. Listed below, however, are resources for free images available for use.

Take 15 minutes to review the instructions on yesterday's post. Make a plan for how you would like to finish this assignment by tomorrow. Deschooling Society Coaching Go through text page by page, doing the following steps for each page:
"2,000,000 Minutes" Viewing Welcome Back!
Clean Out Your Binder? You Should Have 3 Sections: Notes, Library, References. Have a Starter section if you'd like! -It's a good idea to file away notes, classwork, etc. in the filing cabinent if you're not sure if you should throw it away. -Organize your References Section. If it has grammar rules, outline instructions, etc. you should hold on to it. -Recyle everything else! Four Corners: Education and School For about 30-45 minutes, we had a structured debate on some of the following questions. I asked the questions and students moved around the room to the corner that best represented their reasoning--strongly agree, agree, disagee, or strongly disagree. Here's a combined list of questions from the two different classes. 1) Young people need school so that they can learn two important skills--reading and writing. 2) Young people need school to learn skills that will allow them to make money. 3) The most important school young people learn is how to compete against others. 4) School exists so that young people can learn to "fit into society." Educational Autobiography Assignment For this assignment, you should pick three songs to represent your elementary, middle, and high school experiences. For each song, you should write a well-developed, error-free paragraph that interprets the song or its lyrics. Please set up your quotes correctly when citing the lyrics. The pargraph can be as long as it needs to be, but it should be organized and logical and very thoroughly explain why the song and/or its lyrics relate to the intellectual experience of your particular schooling period (elementary, middle, high school.) The goal with this assignment is to focus as much as you can on the "schooling" and "education" you received from these institutions. Feel free to intrepret "school" and "education" however feels appropriate for your story. That being said, try to focus on the intellectual experience of school more than just the social/emotional experience. You could answer the following questions to make sure you are considering the intellectual aspect of school--What topics did you study? Who made decisions about what was studied? What daily activities did you like/dislike? What did assessments (tests, quizzes) look like at this school? How were you rewarded/punished for your work at school? How were the rooms set up? How did the physical space influence the education? This assignment is worth 27 points. -3 points per paragraph (1-needs improvement, 2-meeting expecations, 3-exceeding expectations.) I will mutiply your final score by 3 to give more weight to the assignment. |
