There is no textbook for Fine Arts Survey. But your teacher loves his work and will post material on the class blog daily. The site Fine Arts Magnet becomes the text.
Tests on class activities, class notes and readings will be based on the notes posted on Fine Arts Magnet. Thus it is quite important that each student read the class web site daily.
The typical test will be an Open Notes Quiz. In a change from last year's procedures, I will require that all students use only printed or written notes. Personal web browsers will not be allowed.
The idea is to prepare your information management skills in such a way that your success in school (and beyond) will be assured.
Reading notes on Fine Art Magnet will, most days, be your only homework. Scan the notes, then print them and put them in a folder or binder. You may cut and paste when you feel it will save paper and ink.
One of the key developmental activities this year is growth in reading comprehension. The typical test includes questions designed to test the accuracy of your reading. Some questions will test your ability to interpret the notes. Test questions will be based on the multiple choice format.
Readings may be lengthy. I endeavor to edit longer pieces to make them manageable. Nonetheless, I expect you to read them - on a daily basis - and ask questions about the material.
