What are the Humanities?

What are the Humanities? 

“The humanities can be described as the study of how people process and document the human experience. Since humans have been able, we have used philosophy, literature, religion, art, music, history and language to understand and record our world. These modes of expression have become some of the subjects that traditionally fall under the humanities umbrella. Knowledge of these records of human experience gives us the opportunity to feel a sense of connection to those who have come before us, as well as to our contemporaries.”

Action Organizer Template

NEW HORIZONS Action Organizer Template

I made this template up to help me plan out what I am doing each day, and what I need to schedule in my calendar, like homework or group tasks. For students, use it to keep track of daily homework for each class.

1. Fill in your your schedule for each day.
2. Save 5 copies of the template, DAY 1, DAY 2, DAY 3, DAY 4, DAY 5. That way, you won’t ever have to write out your schedule again.
3. When I save a copy, I simply open yesterday’s file (to refresh my memory) or a blank template and re-save the file with the date in the name.
4. You’ll notice my initials are after NH  – that’s so when I send it to a friend, they will know who wrote it. Change your copy to your initials.
5. Make sure to set up reminders in your google calendar to keep track of project management. You may wish to push reminders to your smartphone.
6. Customize & make it your own!
