2013 Spring Colloquium Description
Description
(This is a full year colloquium.)
"Pay It Foward" is an expression used to do good for
other people without expecting anything in return;
rather, you hope that that person does something good
for other people, and so on.
This colloquium will focus on ways to pay it forward in
our school and community. This colloquium is calling
on dynamic students who have a big heart and who
love to give.
This colloquium is limited to 20 students. We will be using CTA many times throughout the
colloquium meetings so please anticipate some cost for transportation.
The colloquium will be offered year long, but students may switch in or out at the end of the
first semester. i.e. new students may join in the second semester
Paper Craft
Hahn
Paper Craft is a form of visual/sculptural representation that is
defined primarily by the paper folding. You can fold sheets of
paper into animals, picture frames, or flowers. Paper craft
brings out the nature of paper through folding and gluing; one
can only elicit the paper’s potential by exploring this art
form. This class is best suited for students who are interested
in creation through model-making and cooperative learning.
Foods From
Around the
World
Vites
Vosnos
Students will work in teams to research, prepare and try dishes from
various regions around the world. We will emphasize easy preparation
and balanced nutritional meals. Each team will be in charge of preparing
different recipes as they rotate the type of food and regions from week to
week. We will cook in teams and complete the colloquium with a full set
of recipes that students may take home.
Materials: Students need to bring ingredients and may bring special utensils.

In this colloquium we will focus on the practice and science of
cardiovascular, weight training, and meditative fitness. You’ll
complete physical activities for each area every session, charting
your gains as the semester progresses. As a group we will jog/run,
bike on the stationary bicycles, lift weights, and conclude each
session with a meditation. Each student will research, prepare, and present a topic to the
class throughout the semester covering the scientific benefits of a well-balanced lifestyle
and diet.
Do you enjoy playing board games? Could you see yourself
playing, building and designing board games for a living? Do you
have an idea for a great game? Are you creative, inquisitive,
strong willed and reliable? Come meet with a current toy and
game designer and hear what goes into developing and selling a
game in today’s marketplace. We will learn to develop, build and
pitch our own creations while learning about the intricacies of
dealing with game manufacturers and the role of social media in
the game world.

The website horrorfilmhistory.com writes the following: “The modern
horror genre as we know it is only around 200 years old (it begins to
have form and conventions towards the end of the eighteenth century)
but it has distinguished antecedents. Every culture has a set of stories
dealing with the unknown and unexplained, tales that chill, provoke
and keep the listener wondering ‘what if..?’ Horror [stories] are the
present-day version of the epic poems and ballads told round the fires
of our ancestors.” This colloquium examines horror across the
decades and across subgenres. Students will read and
discuss horror texts (poems, short stories, tales), students will view
and discuss representations of horror in art, and students will watch and
discuss horror films. Mainly, students will examine what it is that frightens us, titillates us,
and makes us want to scream in scary delight. Students will research horror across
decades and lead classroom discussions. Students must be able to watch Rated R films
and engage in mature discussions about the genre. Only open to students who have NOT
taken Mr. Snow’s Bildungsroman or Satire colloquium in the past because of the repeat of
some content.

The current horde of zombified cultural artifacts and events
include children’s books, apocalyptic 5K races, revised versions of
Victorian novels, entire volumes of undead arts and crafts
projects, and more movies in the last decade than had previously
existed throughout the rest of movie history. Why? For starters,
zombie movies speak to us about gender, race, class, technology,
consumerism, and religion. They allow us to think scary thoughts
while safely entombed in cultural kitsch. We see ourselves and
our society reflected in the crimson sheen of fake blood, and with
the undead arise truths about our culture’s deepest and most
secret fears. Join us – and be ready to use your BRAAAAAINS! – to examine the
symbolism and cultural commentary rampant in zombie pop culture. Activities will include
screening and discussion of zombie movies, developing and practicing your Zombie

Description
In this colloquium you will various aspects of Chen Family Taijiquan
including stretching, fundamental training, and the “Canon-Fist” form.
Taijiquan, commonly known as T’ai Chi, is an ancient martial art
originating in a small rural village of Henan, China. The art was
created by Chen Wang Ting in the late 17th century by combining the
most effective martial training of the day with elements of Chinese
medicine and Taoist philosophical principals. Today, Taijiquan is well
known for its health benefits. The art is a complete system including
four traditional “empty-hand” forms, nine weapons training forms, and
two training programs for self-defense. Taijiquan is a rigorous
physical and mental training system that is challenging and very
rewarding. If you are interested in a form of exercise with profound cultural and historical
significance, this is a colloquium for you!

recreation and agricultural space that features s
decorative plantings and vegetable gardens, natural
drainage systems, a wetland, a playing field, trees and
grass areas, a greenhouse, large agricultural areas
and community garden plots. The food they grow goes to the hungry through food pantries,
as well as to their families, and land they shape and care for serves their fellow students
and community. Their work creates spaces for outdoor classrooms and instruction by
teachers, during the school year, as well as healthy playspace and interest in the
environment.
Students will be expected to work in the farm. They must be dressed appropriately for every

devise strategies and projects to help address them in practical and tangible ways. We also
plan to add a new twist this year: integrating art projects, into our service ideas. Our goal is
to construct a mural along the blank wall next to Lawrence Stop on the CTA Brown Line. We
will be working with the local alderman, civic leaders, and public arts groups—but our
success depends on what members find out and decide. So if you want to expand your

Two men were arguing about a flag flapping in the wind. "It's the wind that
is really moving," stated the first one. "No, it is the flag that is moving,"
contended the second. A Zen master, who happened to be walking by,
overheard the debate and interrupted them. "Neither the flag nor the wind
is moving," he said, "It is MIND that moves."
Are you interested in working toward inner peace, self-discipline, and
experiencing a sense of awe? What about thinking outside the box,
learning to live in the present moment, and looking beyond what you think you know? Are
you also interested philosophy, nature, international cultures, beautifying our school
grounds and the city of Chicago?
We will be working over the next year to create a Zen garden for our school grounds. This

Killing fields, dirty wars, death squads. Such terms conjure
images of some of the darkest--and most fascinating--episodes
in our history since World War II. Though it’s tempting to try and
forget these stories, film-makers have made certain that we
can’t. By creating dramatic, gut-wrenching, and—often—very
realistic films, they return us to the scene of the crime and
broadcast these gripping narratives to worldwide audiences.
The movies themselves sometimes spark lively public debate, or even genuine
efforts to come to terms with the original crisis. This colloquium will use films such as
Missing, The Killing Fields, and Cry Freedom as a springboard to examine these
periods of dictatorship, genocide, and human rights abuse. But we’ll take it a step
beyond choosing, researching, watching, and judging the accuracy of the films;
we’ll also explore how survivors and others have reacted to and learned from these
crises, sometimes establishing organizations, museums, and other strategies for
learning from these tragedies and dodging their recurrence. WARNING: these films,
in their realism, can include some disturbingly violent scenes. This colloquium may
not be for you if you’d rather avoid this. A permission slip is required for participation in
