Usually during fourth block students are so tired after a long day that they just want to go home as soon as possible. Not today, however, and not in the AP Art History Class. Not only the students were learning about Japanese art this Monday, but they also got a little traditional snack.
AP Art History covers a huge amount of art - from prehistoric and ancient to modern. Because of the massive content, there is not a lot of time to be spent at some of the topics. However, it does not mean that the class is going so fast that it becomes boring. Quite the opposite, it's a lot of fun! As example, today we have started the Japanese art and architecture. Instead of teaching the lesson in a routine way, Mr. Kaplan came up with an idea of how to make us feel almost like in Japan. He wrote some of Japanese words with English transcription on the board, and we were supposed to use them during class. He even gave each of us Pocky, a Japanese snack! He said it is very popular in Japan, and it really became a traditional food there. What a great way to learn traditions of another country!
Lessons like today's really make the learning process more interesting. After all, what can be better than a little traditional snack at the end of the fourth block?..
