Welcome to my Humanities class! We hope to learn about some basics of this subject...the study of human civilization. It should be an interesting six weeks. We will cover the most basic of humanities, human culture. Initially, we will go over some terms, ideas, themes, quotes, and concepts, and then watch a great film that illustrates those concepts, The Gods Must Be Crazy, from way back in the 80s, when I had hair. This will culminate this part of the hexter with students putting together a Culture Gallery Walk in which they study a particular culture for their classmates to experience through their presentation. After that, I hope to study Ancient Mesopotamia and their contributions to world history and humanities...particularly Hammurabi's Code and the epic of Gilgamesh. All in all, I am looking forward to sharing the experience and seeing you all in class.
