JHS Hugemanatees: Guess who's back, back again

Humanitarians,

Let's see if we can't get this blog back on track. I have faith in us, the humanities teachers. We apologize for letting you down the last few weeks, but you guys know how things go.

OMG, we've been so creative lately! From your BEAUTIFUL chalk recreations (not gonna lie, I'm so vain, so all my favorites were the ones that incorporated us) to today's hopefully helpful creativity journal work day.

Still stuck on how to be creative??? Here are some of my favorite starters from the day...

Write down 5 of your core beliefs. Pick one and illustrate it.
Pick a lyric from your favorite song to illustrate.
If Google changed its banner to celebrate you (or your BFF, or your mom, or your favorite teacher), what would it look like?
Write haiku poems about famous people
Illustrate your favorite moment form the past week
What if all your neighbors (teachers, friends) had secret lives? Write about it
Draw a letter of the alphabet 100 different ways

YOU GOT THIS! You are creative human beings - we can't wait to be enthralled.

Tomorrow, we are back in the Renaissance with a discussion of the best of the High Renaissance - The David and the Sistine Chapel

Yessssssss.

lol, y'all if you were up for Pope
