The Blogging Never Ends

So.....It has been a long time since I came back here to cultivate my humanities class blog. This doesn't mean I've abandoned this blog of precious knowledge, but rather that I've been working on a new blog lately - more precisely, a Spanish class blog! 

On that blog, you can view various Spanish grammar rules and in-class work (and homework) that I've done starting this semester. Almost all assignments include creative elements inside - such as writing an interview about a famous celebrity or composing a review on a horror movie. If you're an eager Spanish learner, click here to view my blog! Thank you for supporting!!

Revolution

There are changes in our 19th Century Humanities class in which there won't be any more artifacts to do. We will be receiving a weekly by-syllabus several times, and we will be covering various topics. Though abolishing the system of artifacts, we will still be continuing our case studies!

Enjoy~!

19th Century Humanities Class

You are now abroad to Allen Iveray's (well, technically Allen Wang's) 19th century humanities portfolio airplane, AI-919. This blog is solely created for the usage of 19th Century Humanities class, which is a prodigious course instructed in KAS (Kaohsiung American School). In this subject, we explore the mysterious histories of copious empires or countries and delve into humanities in the 1800s.

There will be 10 case studies through 9th grade in which freshmen will create about 17 unique "artifacts" for each case study. We will present miscellaneous artifacts by incorporating various technologies, such as Prezi, youtube videos, and slide shows.

Each case study has its own "Page", which can be found at the right of my blog. You are currently on the "Home" page. If you would like to view the case studies, please click on the individual pages on the right. I hope you enjoy my work and the wonderful flight! Have a wonderful day!

Portfolio Rubric

The five criteria in this portfolio rubric are important points that I think the portfolios should be graded on. The heads I drew under each grade represents each student. The more complicated the swirls are in the heads, the more the student learned. For example, the student who receives an A on his/her portfolio would learn more and gain broader knowledge. Therefore, the swirly illustration contains more rounds. On the other hand, a question mark depicts a student whose portfolio receives a F, since he/she didn't learn much from the portfolio.
