ADMIN ISSUES CONSISTENT RETAKE POLICY Teachers aim for consistency, emphasis on mastering content

As the new school year kicks off students have to adjust to new schedules and teachers as well as getting back into studying for tests and quizzes. This year the consistent retake policy gives students the opportunity to retake a test to replace their previous grade if they have all of the prior assignments turned in.

packet is placed in front of every member of the class, the desks have been separated into “islands” and pencils are at the ready. It’s test day. Everyone has experienced an exam or a quiz, and most people have taken one they weren’t ready for.

The opportunity to retake a test has been inconsistent across the school, but this year the retake policy is changing. “[The new retake policy] is a combination of things; looking [at] what research is talking about, trying to move students towards mastery in material and looking more towards a more “standards” based approach to grading,” principal Myron Graber said.

All teachers teaching the same course must offer the same policy on retakes and will have this stated in their syllabus. This way students who take the same class with a different teacher will not get any advantages simply because their teacher has a more lenient policy.

“We just wanted to be consistent across the school,” Graber said.

“With one set of courses the retake policy needs to all be the same for all the teachers.”

The math department is one of those which support the idea of retakes.

“The biggest thing I think the retake policy is about is helping students become better learners,” math teacher Annette McDonald said.

Graber also sees the advantages to having retake opportunities in math courses.

“The math department has probably been the most active in enacting retakes, because math is very linear [and] very systematic subject,” Graber said.

If a student wants to take a test again, they must have all their assignments turned in, and get a retake ticket filled out. This requires an explanation of why the student was unprepared for the test, how they plan to improve and a parent’s signature.

Those seeking to raise their grades will be glad to know that students are eligible for retakes as long as the course offers them, even if they already received an A or B. “The point is the opportunity,” Graber said. “If students are willing to improve, there’s always that opportunity to get better.”

New iPad program has students, teachers talking

Waiting for the Blackboard app to load, junior Samantha Powell uses her iPad to study. Many students were issued iPads during first semester when enrolled in specific core classes.

I

n students’ eyes, iPads have always been outlets for playing late night games of Angry Birds, giving mildly- satisfactory Netflix movies 3.5 stars and heavily filtering one’s selfies.

However, this year, students may begin to see iPads from an educational perspective.

A nine-week technology program is in effect for several classes, including that of social studies teacher Katy Hayden.

“A handful of teachers volunteered to pilot iPads for nine weeks, and Macbooks for another nine weeks, to see which device is more usable for high school students,” Hayden said. “We switch devices with [Lawrence High School] after nine weeks.”

According to Principal Myron Graber, the main focus of this iPad program is to better the school.

“The purpose of the program is to determine which device is the best learning tool for high school students,” Graber said. “The ultimate goal is to issue a device to all high school students in [the] 2017-18 [school year].”

Though most students are happy with this program, some have run into problems regarding the technology’s functionality. Sophomore Taylor Burks voices her concerns. “[There are] technical problems

REAGAN SULLIVAN

[such as] not being able to get on certain apps...certain people haven’t been on their iPads in general,” Burks said.

Sophomore Creighton Cordova agrees with Burks, having experienced similar technical difficulties “[The program] could be better,” Cordova said. “The network is a little slow, but I think it has some opportunity to be good.”

Despite the technical malfunctions, Cordova does see the positive environmental impact in working with the new machines, especially in a time resources are limited. Rather than printing more paper worksheets and quizzes, teachers have the option to use Google education apps, Kahoot, Adobe Spark and their personal websites to keep students informed.

The ability for iPads to save work for use while offline is another feature Graber appreciates. “[T]he iPad is an amazing tool that can cache assignments and work so that students can work offline,” Graber said.

Former Firebird Productions moves to Career Center, changes name

irebird Productions is undergoing changes in name, location and way of operation this year. Video teacher Scott Smith is teaching at the Lawrence Career Center in the afternoon, so his studio class has moved across town with him. Students from both high schools are taking his Media Communications class.

“We’re hoping that everything we used to do with Firebird Productions we will now do at the Career Center with LHS students.” senior Nyla Chaudhry said.

Junior Hunter Rea is optimistic about the work the team will be able to get done with both schools working together.

“They will come work on our homecoming video and we will work on their homecoming video,” Rea said. “We’ll share ideas and people to help out since we will all be in one place.”

With the team spreading beyond Firebird territory, a name change is due to help welcome new members to the production team.

“We were trying to brainstorm ideas for studio names and we started talking about classic toys,” Chaudhry said. “So we’re Classic Toy Studios. It’s something we all have in common, we all played with the same toys.”

Unfortunately, former members of Firebird Productions, like Rea and senior Emma ason, are not a le to start the year off with the new team. don’t have his class first semester because I couldn’t give up three electives,” Mason said. “So that kind of sucked because I wanted to take [the class] for both semesters of my senior year.”

According to Rea, the best part of Smith’s production team is the space he gives student’s to grow and create their own projects.

Despite not being able to make the switch, Mason and Rea agree being a part of the team is worth the extra effort. This production team is one of few opportunities availa le for students seeking film experience.

“When I grow up, I want to be involved with movies and production,” Mason said. t’s really nice to have the film experience.”

According to Rea, the best part of Smith’s production team is the space he gives student’s to grow and create.

“He lets me do my own thing and he trusts me to do good work,” Rea said. “As a teacher, as a creator and as a filmmaker it’s just really nice to have a lot of freedom. “

Senior, Emma Mason plans to continue taking film classes at the College Career Center next semester. She looked forward to working more with people in the community. “We will film here (at school) and edit at the Career Center,” Said Mason.

Senior, Nyla Chaudhry has been taking film classes for all four years of high school. This year the video production moved to the College Career Center.

“The whole experience is (about) making something for your own,” Chaudhry said.

National Hispanic Scholar Award recipient discusses importance of celebrating historically disadvantaged cultures

MARIAH HOUSTON

O

ne year ago, a library full of nervous juniors collectively fumbled with their graphing calculators and freshly sharpened number two pencils.

However, while the rest of the PSAT participants crossed their fingers, hoping to remember all of their freshman year geometry, Natalie Adams-Menendez proudly checked the box labeled “Hispanic.” Now a senior, Adams-Menendez has received the National Hispanic Scholar award, and with that award came a new sense of hope for not only her future but the futures of Hispanic students nationwide.

Becoming a National Hispanic Scholar is similar to becoming a National Merit Scholar. Both scholars are determined through PSAT scores, but there are some major differences etween the two. “[National Merit Scholars and National Hispanic Scholars] are two separate awards,” Adams-Menendez said. “The cut off scores for National ispanic and National erit are different ecause you’re looking at a different pool of applicants. enerally, the National ispanic cholar cutoff is much lower than the National erit cutoff.”

National Hispanic Scholars must maintain a minimum of a 3.5 grade point average , must have the T score the program requires in order to qualify and must be at least one quarter Hispanic with the ability to authenticate that claim.

In preparation for the PSAT, Adams-Menendez acquired resources from the gifted office.

“It took a lot of self-motivation to actually do what I was supposed to be doing [to prepare for the PSAT] instead of working on homework, but in the end I think it really

helped and paid off, and ’m really thankful,” Adams-Menendez said.

Adams-Menendez appreciates the PSAT preparation resources she was given, but she is also aware that those resources are a privilege which many Hispanic students are not granted.

“What you see is people that have the money to have these test prep associations and to have all of this extra preparation and then they get scholarships that they don’t necessarily need,” Adams-Menendez said.

Having a separate award for people of Hispanic descent is a step in the right direction, according to guidance counselor Bryan Duncan. “[Being a National Hispanic Scholar] can result in financial gain for the student and certainly looks great on a resume,” Duncan said. “Anytime we showcase the success of our students, it is eneficial.”

Similarly, Adams-Menendez believes recogni ing and awarding specific ethnicities is eneficial. t’s nice to e a le to recogni e what people in other cultures are achieving,” Adams-Menendez said. “[The National Hispanic Scholar Award] is a good way for people that are historically underprivileged to be able to have a sense of power over themselves and to have something else to help promote them ecause they’re less likely, statistically, to be able to succeed in this population.”

Adams-Menendez is half Latina, and her grandparents were born in Mexico. eing a first generation college student, she recognizes and appreciates the motivation winning the National Hispanic Scholar award gives Hispanic students who may

have felt indifferent a out college. “[The National Hispanic Scholar Award] really helps to push Hispanic students to go on to that higher education,” dams- enende said. nice enefit of the award is that a lot of State Universities give full tuition scholarships for those who hold this award, so it really allows Hispanic people to go out and seek higher education.”

Not only does Adams-Menendez plan on attending college, but she plans on using her college degree to change the world.

“Having this award is going to help me be able to help my people, racially, and also help me get to a place where I can then make a global impact for everyone else,” Adams-Menendez said. “I want to be able to implement educational reform for people in areas that don’t have access to education, I want to change the way that people look at certain issues [and] I want to change the outlook of the American perspective to be able to respect the cultures of other areas.” n the moment, filling out the T may feel insignificant however, the girl fiddling with her graphing calculator may become the next leader of international political affairs. The nervous boy chewing on his eraser may win a scholarship that allows him to pay for the tuition he never thought he would be a le to afford. simple, standardi ed test, however dreadful they may be, can lead to celebration of not only academic successes ut also the cele ration of different cultures and ethnicities. t’s really nice that ’m a le to appreciate my culture and appreciate the Hispanic side that I have as opposed to having to worry about being Hispanic and worrying about how that would be a disadvantage,” Adams-Menendez said. “I get to celebrate the fact that ’m ispanic and cele rate the fact that ’m a ispanic cholar.”

The NHRP annually recognizes about 5,000 of the 250,000 Hispanic/Latino juniors who take the test.

The College Board’s NHRP program is an academic honor that can be included on college applications. It’s not a scholarship, but colleges do use this program to identify academically exceptional Hispanic/Latino students.

New sushi restaurant thrives in tough location

Photo by GABRIELLE WHEELER Lawrence’s newest sushi restaurant, Nagoya Japanese Cuisine and Sushi, opened last May. Vincent Yu, the head chef, moved to Lawrence after working in several New York City sushi restaurants.

awrence, Kansas is certainly no stranger to the constant shiny tables and fresh faces of new restaurants cycling in and out of old buildings.

Some locations just can’t seem to sustain new businesses. Unfortunately, in the past few years, 711 West 23rd Street has proved to be just that type of location.

Brandishing a large new sign and a friendly face at the door is the location’s newest restaurant, Nagoya Japanese Cuisine and Sushi. Replacing the short-lived Yeah Sushi is a much more sophisticated take on Japanese Cuisine.

Upon entering, the decor is leaps and bounds ahead of its predecessor.

The walls are a light, neutral color, accented by dark, wood-like four-top tables and booths. It is a simplistic and rather safe look, ignoring the small, tacky neon specials sign and slightly overgrown fish tank.

To my surprise, there were more than a few parties willing to take a chance on Nagoya for their Friday night dinner. After being immediately seated y the host, we were efficiently greeted by our waitress who remained attentive and friendly throughout our meal.

I ordered the Volcano Roll, seeking out an interesting spark of spice, as well as the White House Roll (white tuna, avocado, crunchy tempura flakes and the Lion King Roll (shrimp tempura, cream cheese, spicy cra .

The presentation was a case of slightly kitschy, shredded daikon and little neon lights embellishing our rolls, all atop a rather large wooden model of a boat. Although the presentation did not measure up to my expectations after seeing the improved decor, the food was a satisfying mix of both fried, savory rolls, and fresh, semi-sweet ones. I was pleasantly surprised for a Lawrence sushi place that just popped up, especially

considering I only scratched the surface of their options.

The rolls were of average price for a sushi restaurant. My total rang up to around 36 dollars for three rolls, which is not too costly considering we received a complimentary salad on the house as well. Overall, it was a very pleasant dining experience.

So the question is, will Nagoya be just another quick turnover in a tough location? Maybe, maybe not. It has a promising quality about it that urges me

to hope it can thrive there. Not only is it just a hope, but the restaurant deserves to stick around. They already have a website adorned with professional photography and a menu, a write up in the LJWorld and some glowing customer reviews.

They are striving to succeed in a place where a lot of Lawrence restaurants falter. They are marketing themselves successfully, supporting good service and most importantly, producing quality food.

GEO -CATCH ‘EM ALL Lawrence’s geocaching scene reviewed

H

idden in a corner under a bridge or behind a bush, geocaches are rarely found without the proper clues. Geocaches are containers stowed away in public locations with odd novelties such as kid’s sunglasses, golf balls and everything in between stashed inside. Also inside is a notebook known as a log, with the names of everyone who has completed the geocache written inside.

A modern version of geocaching is Pokemon GO, which uses GPS coordinates to locate Pokestops and Pokemon. Geocaching is an outdoor treasure hunt using GPS made popular in the early 2000s and now has 1,450,000 active caches world-wide. Both the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts

Page by CAITLIN MCANDREW-BECKMAN

promote geocaching and offer adges for learning how to geocache. There are a surprising amount of geocaches, with about 250 in Lawrence.

Beginners can start with one of the top free geocaching apps available for iOS: Geocaching Intro by Groundspeak Inc, Garmin OpenCaching.

If you’re looking for a purpose on your average walk, do some geocaching. I recommend geocaching for those who like treasure hunting type games and using apps. Some of the geocaches require multiple searches to find. These clues usually have to do with numbers engraved on a wall or maybe on a slip of paper in another box, which will eventually ecome coordinates to find the final geocache.

RILEY PARADISE

If you try out geocaching keep in mind there is an honor code in the geocaching community to leave something if you take something. Sharing the location of geocaches to those who don’t geocache is considered a cheat.

At the start of a Geocaching search, the GPS coordinates of the first clue are given to the user.

Geocaching was started by Matt Stum on May 30, 2000. The activity has become popular among all ages and is even a badge for Girl Scouts.

ne hundred fifty-three years ago awrence’s eloved assachusetts treet was almost unrecogni a le. fter uantrill’s aiders flooded the streets of awrence, urning everything in their wake, the town was left with 5 dying men and 5 destroyed houses. owever, what people thought might e the end of awrence was actually ust the eginning of awrence’s li eral and free stances in a time of pro-slavery extremism. istorical information, monuments, and landmarks are peppered throughout awrence, and according to history teacher huck aw, incorporating awrence’s merican ivil ar history into high school curriculum would e an interesting way to help students relate to an important part of merica’s past.

Continued from page 21 “It’s nice to hear of students doing even small things like being successful in jobs or careers or family or political life,” Strawderman said. “If I can have somebody leave my classroom caring about Lawrence and wanting to make Lawrence and our community a better place, even in a small way, that’s something that I would be proud of.”

American Civil War history isn’t the only fame Lawrence has claimed. Lawrence’s men’s college basketball scene is historical in multiple ways.

“The man who invented the game, Dr. James Naismith, came to Lawrence and was

a professor and the first ansas asket all coach,” Law said.

Along with being coached by the inventor of asket all, the men’s asket all team has also won three National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Championships and two National Championships before N existed, totaling in five National Champion titles.

Whether students are interested in sports or freedom, there is history in Lawrence for everyone to relate to.

Caring about not only local history but also worldwide history is an attribute that

Lawrence teachers have seemed to master.

“It’s cliche to talk about how things repeat themselves, but it’s pretty rare that I teach something that [doesn’t] seem to resurface in different time periods or sometimes generation to generation,” Law said.

“To not know how we got where we are and maybe to not even know how to avoid certain things that have happened in the past that we do tend to see come up again is folly. There are a lot of things I think we should be focused on that would better serve our kids, especially when they get out into a more global environment outside of the four walls of this high school.”

Teachers aren’t the only ones who see the importance in local and world history.

Many students have become interested in pursuing challenging history classes in order to expand the depth of their historical knowledge.

“All history shapes who we are and the culture of the town,” Bial said. “I think it’s important to recognize what kind of environment you’re surrounded by.”

Similarly to Bial, Strawderman recognized the importance of appreciating and learning about history in all forms.

“I am proud to be a Lawrencian, but I’m also proud to be a human being, and I think it’s important to care about our community as much as it is to celebrate and care about our world,” Strawderman said.

William Clarke Quantrill attacked Lawrence, Kansas on August 21, 1863 during the American Civil War. Lawrence was burning, almost 150 men were dying, and 125 houses were destroyed along with the entirety of Massachusetts Street. Quantrill’s Raiders destroyed the offices of the three Lawrence newspapers at the time, the Journal, Tribune, and Republican, and almost every safe in town had been robbed. Lawrence was the headquarters of Free-State sympathizers at the time of Free State-Pro Slavery extremism and was therefore a target.

dog splashing around in a creek, balancing treats on his nose and walking along the sidewalk; these are all pictures sophomore Andie Veeder set up to take.

These photos were for a storyboard assignment that the new photo teacher, Sarah Podrasky, assigned.

Podrasky is one of two art teachers who oined the staff this year. he has a achelor’s degree in graphic design with an emphasis on photography and a masters degree in art education. ast year was her first year as a teacher.

She taught graphic design at Topeka West High School and is now teaching Photo 1, 2 and Photo Studio and will add Humanities into her schedule next semester.

Veeder, who took Photo 1 last year, believes that hoto will e much different ecause it is more individual than Photo 1. She has less restrictions to her photos, which allows her more

creativity to photograph what she wants.

“When Podrasky gives you an assignment you already know what to do, and you aren’t starting off knowing nothing,” eeder said. odrasky’s favorite parts a out teaching are being able to connect with the students, seeing what her students are interested in and incorporating those interests into the art.

She is focused more on the artistic rather than the technological elements of photo. Photo 2 students enjoy this because in Photo 1 it was more technology oriented, learning how to use the camera and the right settings. ’m looking forward to eing a le to express myself more in my photographs and learn some photographic composition techniques,” sophomore Grant Holmes said.

According to Podrasky, her classes are very laid back but also engaging; they all have different perspectives of the art, so she is excited

to incorporate that into her classes.

“Podrasky has made the value of my pictures clear,” olmes said.

To better the photos of her students, Podrasky makes them draw out their photos before they take them. Taking the time to draw out and plan their photos increases the students’ awareness of the photos they are taking. y drawing out your photo you aren’t ust shooting at something random, you’re putting more thought into your photos,” eeder said. odrasky looks forward to her first year here and is eager to have the opportunity to teach students about photography.

Photo by EMMA R. JOHNSON Sarah Podrasky joined the faculty this year as the new photography teacher. Photography was the first visual art form Podrasky fell in love with when she was a kid.

“It was really a dream come true because I’ve always wanted to teach photo,” Podrasky said.

30 faculty members join new choir DARBY GILLILAND

s choir director Hilary Morton stands in front of the risers in her gigantic, green and white classroom, she educates a group of scratching heads and raised eyebrows about key signatures and the importance of ending consonants. These eager learners are not her students, they are her colleagues.

Morton is adding another choir to the concert program this year. She has put together a group of teachers and staff mem ers who make up the Faculty Choir. This choir rehearses every Thursday after school to prepare for their first performance at the Oct. 5 concert alongside six student choirs.

The choir’s purpose is to get to know each other better and to strengthen bonds with one

another,” orton said. There ust aren’t a lot of opportunities for adults to sing, so I thought this would be great, and the response was really good.”

More than 30 faculty members showed up to the first rehearsal. The group includes teachers, counselors, paraeducators and other staff members. This choir is made up of people with varying musical backgrounds and abilities.

“We have people who still sing in church choirs or who study music,” orton said. nd we also have people who have not sung since they were little who have a lot of fears about singing.”

They spent their first rehearsal introducing themselves and sorting into voice parts. Many members of the choir found that some of their colleagues are more “There just aren’t a lot of musically-inclined than they had previously opportunities for adults to sing, known. Among the so I thought this would be great, more experienced and the response was really good.” singers is counselor Joel Frederick.

Frederick and the other members joined this choir knowing that seeing their teachers sing might spark some student interest. t’s going to e fun,” rederick said. think the students will get a kick out of it.” ven if the choir falls flat, the ree tate faculty will leave with a better knowledge of music and how it feels to perform for adoring fans.

“The students will be jumping and screaming,” orton said. They will e so excited and proud of them.”
