Phantom Thieves Jazz Band – CTE (mako)

 

Jazz has become one of my favorite genres, not because of it sounding as “just noise” but because of it being emotion incarnate. This class is meant for musicians to become expansive in playing, learning, improvising through learning Jazz songs. If you give up easily, this class is not for you, I want Phantom Thieves (the jazz band name) to be about pushing yourself musically. Of course we’ll have fun, but there will be times where you’ll have to lock in…

So are you ready to join?

 

This class is recommended for intermediate and hardcore musicians, ask Mako if you wanna join this class.

  • Outside work: A moderate amount (e.g., 30-60 min) for each session

Daily Show—Language Arts

Satirical Journalism

Language Arts or Social Studies Credit

The Daily Show is a long running satirical news show, that is both bitingly funny and on point as it covers important (and not so important) stories in news, politics, and pop culture. We’ll watch the most recent episode(s) together and discuss top news stories and guest interviews.

Student participants can also play and replay most episode’s through any podcast platform.

Social Studies credit will be offered for all students who participate meaningfully and respectfully. Students who choose to do so, may earn Language Arts credit for this course by preparing three drafts of a 5-page article on a social topic featured in an episode—to be determined by you and the facilitator—and submitting a final, edited, draft by end of the term.

Mutual Aid Zine-Making (Mira Menon)

TIME FOR ARTISTS' MUTUAL AID? — COLOURING IN CULTURE

This class offers the opportunity to combine art, poetry, prose, and more with activism through the creation of a mutual aid zine. Throughout the course of history, art and literature have been central to social justice movements, bringing people closer together. In our current political climate, solidarity and community become more important than ever. Students will explore principles of mutual aid, solidarity, and social justice, and apply them to 1-2 pieces of work that reflect their personal interpretation of these concepts. 

Class will include time for brainstorming, working on pieces, peer reviews, and collaborative zine-making. Final pieces will be compiled into anthology-style zines, which will serve to educate, inspire, and foster a sense of community. These zines will be distributed with the intent of benefiting mutual aid efforts in Seattle. Students in the class will have the opportunity to engage with speakers from mutual aid groups (such as Stop the Sweeps) as well.
