GCCCD Taking Children to The Park Summary q1-written summary 4

Memento Mori, Remember Death will come.

This assignment is a reflection on chapter 8’s material.

For this topic, let’s imagine how we’d like to “leave this mortal coil,” to “make our exit,” or to “start pushing up the daisies.” The chapter reading for this week gives us ample examples and suggestions, a kind of blueprint, for how we could imagine this. These range from the personally eccentric examples laid out in the “Going out BIG” section, to the monumental markers on an architectural scale laid out in the section on “Ego,” or would you prefer to be physically preserved forever for all to see?

These are just some starting points to get you inspired- you don’t have to answer these questions, they are meant to fire up some ideas within your brainstorming.

Are there special items that you’d like to accompany your corpse? Maybe it’s that favorite light saber, lucky hat, wedding ring, your baseball card collection, an important religious object, or that 1967 Chevy Camero with white leather interior?
Do you want to share your (cremated) remains among your loved ones? What should they do with them—put them in amulets on chains, in an urn on the mantle, or resting in more traditional place like a cemetery?
Or would you select a burial, in your favorite car perhaps, in a custom Kane Kwei-style coffin shaped like a chicken, or in a giant crypt with your favorite 60” television, with a full bar and a butler, or with any of the other things you need in the afterlife?
Do you want a ritualized celebration honor with fireworks, dancing, or the Pope, or any other religious figure’s, blessing?

These examples are all rooted in ancient traditions, the art of which is covered in this chapter, that predate our contemporary traditions. Keep in mind that these scenarios are imaginary, so be as creative as possible.

Assignment Description

Students will create a Course Content Page focusing on one chapter from the textbook.

This is an organic project, that will require and ask students to be creative in their application of the material in the course; specifically the textbook reading. In other words, the main “ask” to students is the question of “how would you choose to display, share and learn about the course content”?

Course Content Page

A Content Page would be the pages that each week I have in each Module that introduces you to the material. What I provide every week is a combination of images and general concepts learned in that chapter. It is not required to follow my format. It is required to present the chapter content by generally describing the concepts with examples. What that looks like is up to you.

Size Parameters

I would suggest that they do not exceed the size of what I provide each week in my “content pages”. It is not a requirement to include ALL of the chapters information, but to introduce us to the general “ideas” represented in that chapter (with some explanation); all the while emphasizing creative ways to share the information (videos, images, etc).

There is A LOT of flexibility with this assignment. Creativity is key.

Requirements

choose one chapter of your choice for your content page
summarize the chapter information by including all of the following
Chapter Introduction
Images of chapter examples, including sub-categories (if applicable, depending on the chapter)
Description of images
Alternative media, video links, etc.
Resources, citations.
a “content page” when created as a google slide/doc may be up to 6 pages in length. Use Chapter 13’s CONTENT PAGE as a measure of length. Links to an external site.
upload your content page as a pdf document

Self Assessment

Before submitting, be sure that your content page addresses all points below:

is there an introduction to the material
are there images to describe the material
are the images good examples of the material
did you provide alternative media, links, etc?
did you meet the required length?
is it something that you would want to receive as a “summary” of a chapter?

Q3-If you were a teacher at a preschool, write an essay about the place you are considering taking children to field trip, and why and what you will turn it on and teach it to the children there.? May be park or museum
