SEP Session 3, Day 2 (9-11)

Each day, we will feature several courses. The number of courses posted about each day will vary depending on our schedule and tasks for the day. Throughout the session, we will feature as many courses as possible.

Today in in "Religion, Rulers, and Riots," students learned about Roman politics and religion. They played a role-play game in which each person in the room was a contributing figure. Students were members of the Roman senate. Teacher, Peter Morris, had even more power. In particular, the class was learning about the dynamics of Roman politicians, citizenship, plebs vs patricians, and Cicero.

Today in "How to Make a Podcast," students worked on recording their podcasts. Students work in groups to record an episode for a podcast based on a class theme. For the 9-11 group, the class theme (voted on by the class) is travel.

Today in "The Gender Game: Exploring Social Norms," students worked in groups to create collages of a stereotype for various jobs. After groups presented their work, Zoe Pettler led the class through a discussion on why certain characteristics were chosen and the implications.

Best,

Nicole, Olivia and Abby
