Frist of all - check this out.  Here is an article from Ramona, CA - where I used to teach as a HS science teacher 20 years ago. The argument from the school district is that we should be teaching how awesome America is - rather than digging up all of the the ugly stories from the past.   If you have not watched this video yet - The danger of the single story- watch it now!  Why do we need to study the good and the bad of history?  Should we talk about taking the land away from the natives who lived here - or talk about them suffering on reservations? Chimamanda Adichie talks about HOW the story is told - and how that shapes the thoughts of the people who are hearing the story.  What do you think?     Here is a quote from Snoop Dog about it. This is a challenging topic - SO use the course language to explain your opinion - you have to have vocabulary from the chapter to get full credit!!   AND respond to another post WITH VOCABULARY - to back up what you are thinking.  The book link so you can contact them https://openstax.org/books/psychology-2e/pages/12-introduction

Concert Attendance RequirementsAttendance and written review of a minimum of three concerts is required for this course. A maximum of 100 points per review are available. 25 bonus points will be available for extra credit if you attend one additional concert (maximum of four total reports). Reports must be written and submitted no later than two weeks following the attendance of the concert. Reports must submitted via the Canvas interface, or uploaded from an appropriately styles .doc or .pdf file type. Additionally, you will need to provide a proof of attendance in the form of a photograph or scan of either the ticket stub or the concert program. These can be submitted through the Canvas interface with your paper, or alternately you may email them to me direct.What should I do to prepare?KnowledgeMost important: know something about what you are going to see and hear! Read about the artist and genre before you attend the concert. For example, if you are going to hear a "violin concerto", make sure you know what a violin concerto is before you go to the concert!TicketsYou may need to pre-purchase your tickets, or allow enough time to purchase the tickets at the venue. Be sure to ask for "student discount" tickets, and look for free concerts as well. There are many opportunities out there to see great music at a great price!Where to sit?I always suggest sitting in the middle of the hall and/or on the balcony level, as this will give you the best audio and visual experience possible.What should I wear?This is a question that is often asked, and the answer has many parts. Know a little bit about the venue, and know your comfort level. If you are going to a symphony orchestra concert at a concert hall, you may want to put on pants and a shirt, or a modest dress for the ladies. Must you dress up? Not at all - however, be prepared to get a reaction if you choose to "make a statement" with your clothing. Be comfortable, but classy!What types of concerts are acceptable?I want to make sure you have the best possible musical experience, so I have narrowed down what I consider acceptable for this class. It is important that you experience music that is related to this class, and music that is at least at the semi-professional performance level. Additionally, pop, rock and world music genres do not fit the scope of this class, and therefore will not be acceptable. Some acceptable genres include:Symphony OrchestraChamber Ensemble (small group)Musical Theater (must utilize live musicians)OperaBig-band JazzMust be at the college level or above in skillSome genres to avoid:Primary and Secondary school productionsPop music concertsNon-professional performances (open-mic night, etc)If you are unsure, just ask!Sample Concert ReportRubricWriting AssignmentsWriting AssignmentsCriteriaRatingsPtsThis criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeContentDid the student understand the assignment and write about the relevant information as required for the assignment?50.0 to >40.0 ptsStudent attended an appropriate genre of concert.
