Sophomores Present on Reformation Era
Sophomores in Dr. Brunson’s Pre-AP Humanities class presented research on a chosen topic or piece of literature from the Reformation Era this week. Subjects ranged from poetry to novels to theological writings and historical events. Students studied, researched, and then wrote papers about their given topics, culminating in these oral presentations before their peers.
After presenting, classmates were able to ask questions and dialogue with the presenter about the subject in order to learn more and refine their understanding.
Students were graded for personal appearance as well as their oral composition, including grammatical elements, rhetorical elements, and their thesis.
This cycle is part of the regular structure of Dr. Brunson鈥檚 classes. Students are not only challenged to think critically, but to create and communicate intellectually about their subjects, encouraging interaction, dialogue, and participatory learning with their peers. This process does more than help students improve their communication skills, it also gives others insight into subject areas they might not have the opportunity to learn otherwise.
