Best of the Weeks
Humanities has been a very different english class so far than I'm used to, in a good way. There are more conversations and arguments, and very different types of assignments. One such assignment that I found to be pretty cool is the mindbook, and I would say it is the highlight of the first two weeks of Humanities.
Unlike most English assignments, the mindbook entries allow for you to get really creative in the assignment. You can add pictures, objects, backgrounds, and basically whatever you want to make the entry your own, rather than just an altered copy of everyone else's completed assignment. The entries can even become enjoyable to do, rather than just a burden, like most assignments.
For example, when our first mindbook entry was assigned, I thought it would be hard to even think of what to start with. But then when I sat down to start it, I started having all sorts of ideas! One after another, they just popped in my head. I had ended up getting really caught up in it, and before i knew it, two hours had gone by. It was definitely the highlight of my first two weeks of humanities, and if the mindbook assignments stay as fun as they are, I think I will really enjoy the class.
