SUMMARY:MemoirUS.2020: Memoir
DESCRIPTION:Defined as a literary account of a life or event written from personal experience\, memoirs are one of the most consistently compelling (and best-selling) genres on the market. They represent an attempt to create a shared memory with a reader. Think of it as the literary version of a strand of memory floating in Dumbledore’s\, pensive (except no pen is as honest or as infallible as a wand). For famous authors\, memoirs often serve as a place to set the record straight on the controversial and important events of their public life. Yet memoirs by unknown authors still find their way to the best-seller lists\, some authors make entire careers out of writing memoirs. Why are they so irresistible? In this class\, we will attempt to answer this question by reading famous examples\, exploring techniques for turning memory into story\, and ultimately developing our own memoirs. If you are at all interested in thinking about and writing about your life\, this is a class for you. Texts may include: Reading Lolita in Tehran\, Dreams from My Father\, The Glass Castle\, A Moveable Feast\, and Fun Home along with excerpts from others.

SUMMARY:QueerLit.2020: Queer Literature
DESCRIPTION:Voices of Queer people\, especially of those who come from multiple oppressed identities have often been silenced due to systemic homophobia\, transphobia and racism. Despite this the LGBTQIAP+ has shown an amazing resiliency that is present in the rich canon of LGBTQIAP+ literature. Readings will cover both historical and contemporary writing by\, about and for Queer people. We will read a variety of texts including poetry\, essays\, short stories and a novel. Content will be tailored to the grade level. The discussion of the literature will be contextualized with reading about\, discussing and researching Queer history in the US.

SUMMARY:AlgWordProblems.2020: Applied Algebra Word Problems and Projects
DESCRIPTION:Prerequisite: Algebra II \nDescription: The goal of this course is to put algebraic skills to use in applied word problems and projects. All of our activities will be using math skills students learn in algebra II and applying them to solve new and fun problems. Students will be encouraged to collaborate and discuss different ideas for approaching challenges\, focusing on using mathematical language and improving their creative problem-solving skills. We will use technology to build our understanding of graphs and how they relate to their equations as well as to help us make models based on real-world data. The class is designed for students of any level who have already taken an Algebra II course who want to deepen their applied understanding of the subject and talk creatively about math with their peers.

SUMMARY:LitWhiteWrkCls.2020: The Literature of the (White) Working Class
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to be white and working class in America? The white working-class are alternately hailed as the backbone of American society and sidelined as ignorant hoards. Are there any defining features of such a huge group or are they defined by what they are not? We will explore these ideas through several texts such as “Bastard out of Carolina” by Dorthy Allison\, “Winter’s Bone” by Daniel Woodrell\, “Educated” by Tara Westover\, “Hillbilly Elegy” by J.D. Vance\, and “White Rage” by Carol Anderson. We will be examining images\, film\, fiction\, and nonfiction. We will read one common text as a class\, students will read an additional text in a small reading group and complete reading reflections as well as a culminating writing project.

SUMMARY:UIAndWebDesign.2020: User Interface and Web Design/app design
DESCRIPTION:Students will learn how to skillfully design and develop a meaningful website\, as well as design and create a local app for their phone. In the first section of the course\, students will begin by learning the proper structure and syntax for a website. They will build on these skills each day\, culminating in all students producing a personalized website. The second half of the course will focus on app design by going through the process of revamping an existing app to make it more efficient and usable by its clients. To round out the class\, students will then undertake developing their own app using all of the knowledge gained through their prior work. Each project will be focused on solving a real-world problem or something to benefit the greater good of the community both locally and globally.
