Thursday, January 21: Welcome to Humanities! Today we discussed what the Humanities are and how they apply to our lives. After reviewing the disclosure document, we went through a PowerPoint to introduce the Humanities. Students then divided into groups and were given two questions to answer about humanity today and what pop culture tells us about human nature in our society. Students then picked one thing and gave a one second rant about what that tells us about humanity. Oh, the humanities!
