School spirit

the court. Glancing around, there are tons of people on the edge of their seats, holding back screams and fist pumps. School Spirit is something that defines a school and truly gets students involved. With school spirit, sporting events and other activities are drastically improved for the players and everyone attending. Atmospheres like Iowa State basketball games, or Nebraska football games are some of the things that people look forward to on the weekends, and there is no saying that high school scenarios should be any different. Promotion of school spirit and community involvement is beneficial to any public or private school. They help support the students to stay…

that spell? SPIRIT! Loud screaming and cheering erupt from the bleachers. What is school spirit though? School spirit is an emotional feeling toward the school having pride in being part of the school, positive attitude students and teachers hold toward their school, and having ways to involve the rest of the student body. Even though school spirit is an emotional feeling of pride toward a school, it can be physically seen by the way students and teachers behave. Prime examples of the students…

School Spirit Double Standards How would the community react if a mere fifty spectators showed up to a home football game? Chances are, they would be disappointed. They might wonder where the school spirit is. However, nobody bats an eye when it happens at a band concert. The extent to which people expect every single student to be excited about sports is overwhelming. Fine arts students work just as hard without receiving the credit they deserve. Schools as a whole care more about sports than…

The use of perspective in both Raphael’s The School of Athens and Asher Brown Durand’s Kindred Spirits emphasizes the different subjects of each painting and distinguishes between significant and detail oriented additions to the pieces. Although perspective is used to reach a common goal throughout both pieces, each artist relied upon contrasting approaches to the perspective in order to accentuate certain elements of their work. For example, Raphael applies the one-point perspective system to…

IEPs and neither of them are strong at written expression, I would still need to accommodate how they should present their answer or argument. I would have them do an oral presentation because I know they would be able to inform the class and myself that they are knowledgeable of the content. Alex, Aiden, and Logan are all interested in video games. This is about the only thing these three have in common outside of the classroom. Their interest in video games allows me to infer that they are…

The two paintings are similar in the point that they both have implied depth to a certain degree. Raphael uses the figures in his work to give the appearance of distance between them in the foreground and background. Durand uses scenery in the foreground to make the figures seem as if they are farther back in the painting. Raphael uses one-point perspective, while Durand uses aerial perspective. In The School of Athens, the two men in the middle of the entryway in the background of the painting…

The idea of vengeful spirits has caused both a spark of interest and controversy that has remained ablaze over hundreds of years, inspiring both the media and everyday customs with it’s awe-inducing nature. Bloody Mary proves quite an infamous tale among Western civilizations, portraying the spirit of an angry and powerful woman, the details of who vary among different regions, making the true nature of this ghost unclear. Japanese culture, though, has a range of popular lore that all sprout…

William Shakespeare wrote Hamlet at a time when England was embroiled in debate about the nature of ghosts. The Elizabethan people believed in the existence of spirits. However, there was a discrepancy in how the people believed the spirits interacted and influenced the populus. The conservative held to the old doctrine stating that ghosts were spirits of deceased people and therefore not evil, while the reforming denied the possibility of ghosts in favor of spirits being evil devils. The…

I need to learn how to communicate in a healthier way with my parents. I have had a strained connection with my Dad because we often clash and both do not know how to properly communicate. Through CIRCLE, I would be able to meet this need by learning how to read the body language of others and how their body is speaking to me. Then I would have the capability to understand how people are feeling, such as my Dad, or if they are in the right space to talk at the moment. Also, through CIRCLE I…

one? There are people out there that go and search for ghost and they have only heard noises, seen shadows, different pieces of light, and most importantly different energy waves that match up with what they are looking for. They have studied ghost activity and if they are real for years and there has been hard evidence but does anyone know for sure. “Ghosts are the energy of a person’s soul and can be either good or bad. Spirit is a generic term to describe any entity that was never human…
