SUMMER ACADEMICS Want to perfect your skills and try something new? Looking to exercise your brain in new ways? Join us this summer at Hackley, for academic courses for Lower, Middle and Upper School students. These courses are open to Hackley students, as well as students in our local community, from public, independent and private schools in the area. Most of these courses are designed to help students strengthen skills they learned in the past year, and some are to give a preview of what is to come. All courses are taught by Hackley faculty and offer small class sizes and high level instruction. Page 38

SPECIAL INTEREST COURSES Summer Special Interest Courses span a wide range of subjects, areas of interest and adventures. These courses are very popular for their breadth and depth of engagement with the subject or activity. Some provide real-world exposure to things not found in a standard school curriculum while others help prepare for the next stage in a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s academic and life-long learning journey. A great way to expand horizons, try something new and get outside your comfort zone in a safe, nurturing and supportive summer environment.

ADVENTURES IN INVENTING Create, play and explore! The “Maker Movement” promotes student access to the technology, tools and materials needed for creativity and exploration. Campers will take on the roll of inventor as they tinker with a new set of activities each day. The fun doesn’t stop there, since the materials fee allows students to take home their projects. Worried about duplicate activities? All chosen projects are new for repeat campers and geared towards the age group. Possibilities include, but are not limited to, wearable computing, circuits, and solar power. Cost includes materials fee.

INFINITE MOTION HIP-HOP A fun active course learning the fundamentals of hip-hop and fitness. Infinite Motion teaches students to be confident, active and healthy. Learning styles of dance from 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s. Michael has been teaching dance for 15 years and has a great positive energy to empower kids to be versatile and create as innovators. Teamwork activities make the class a wonderful environment to help students with communication and leadership skills. Infinite Motion is a place where every student is infinite.

DRAGON LAIRS, TROLL BRIDGES, FAIRY CASTLES Let your imagination soar as you collect natural decorations, curious plants and other items to make homes for dragons, trolls, fairies and more. Inspired by the Tracy Lane books, kids will spend time both inside and out of Hackley making their creations. Last year we made a city, complete with ships and a harbor. Students should come with their imaginations. Most supplies will be found outside and small dragon and fairy figurines will be provided for inspiration.

Beginners are welcome, we always begin with an introductory project to make sure each student is up to speed before moving on to more advanced projects.

Cost includes materials fee.

By the end of the course, each student will have built their own robot, and there will be a tournament filled with epic battles where kids cheer as Lego clashes with Lego. No matter which Lego wins, what will matter most is the experience and the skills that the students learn.

JUNIOR LEGAL EAGLES Do you ever wonder what it’s like to be a trial lawyer or why we have certain laws? Perhaps you wonder if our legal system is anything like what you see on TV and in the movies?

NATURE ADVENTURES! Do you like being outside? Do you like exploring the trails and finding geocaches? Do you like be surprised every day? If so, this is the camp session for you. Everyday we will go to a new place to see what we can find. In the past trips have included: Stone Barns, Rockefeller, Prynn Sanctuary in Millwood, Cranberry Lake, Muscoot farm and of course Teatown. We will see animals, swim in a stream, play nature bingo and spend the day outside in nature. The last day will be a trip to Croton Dam and Ice Cream at the Blue Pig (one of the top most eco friendly ice cream places in the county).

EXPLORING THE WORLD ON A MAGIC CARPET Each day the children will climb aboard an actual “magic” carpet and we will fly off to visit and explore a different country each day. The magic carpet ride will be a magical experience for the children, complete with twinkling fairy lights and music playing that is appropriate for the country they will be “landing at” that day. Upon landing the children will learn key information about their destination via Smart Board presentations, age appropriate books, posters and games, and I will create some kind of passport for them to have “officially” stamped. Each session will include learning about the geography and culture of each country, including the music, way of life, dress, food, and forms of recreation. In addition to immersing ourselves in factual information about the country, our activities will also include creating a craft from each country and learning a traditional song, dance or game. The aim of this program is to enrich the students knowledge about the world around them, as well as providing them with the opportunity to be creative and have a lot of fun. At the end of the week the students will take home a book showcasing what they have learned about all of the countries they have “visited” on our magic carpet.

KINDNESS ROCKS! Are you kind? Have you ever performed a random act of kindness? Have you ever been the recipient of a random act of kindness? Have you heard about the Kindness Rocks Project or ever found a kindness rock? We will explore the growing trend of Kindness Rocks and Art Rocks and have fun while designing our own tokens of gratitude and happiness. Walks on the Hackley trails, mindful moments, and music will serve as our inspiration!

PERSUASIVE WRITING AND THE POWER OF 3 You use your powers of persuasion every day — whether it is has to do with a gift you’ve always wanted, a place you want to go, or anything else that involves a choice. Persuasive writing is not simply a school assignment. Rather it’s a communication skill you will need for the rest of your life. In this course, you will craft persuasive arguments while boosting your confidence, and you’ll present your arguments in a variety of engaging formats tailored to your ideas and your audience. Students will work individually and collaboratively on activities and projects designed to strengthen their writing and public speaking skills in a fun and supportive environment.

DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS: INTRODUCTION Invented in 1974, the game Dungeons and Dragons is unlike any other game most play. Where many games are about following the rules, D&D is about breaking them! Where other games show you an imaginary world, D&D asks you to actually imagine living there! Earlier versions of the game suffered from too much complexity, but the latest edition, released in 2014, has earned widespread acclaim for being more approachable and inclusive of diverse audiences. In this class, we will learn the basics of D&D by playing one shared campaign that will place over a few days. After that, each participant will design and then run a “one-shot,” which is a short story that can be completed in just one session. Cost includes materials fee.

CIVIC ENGAGEMENT: LEADERSHIP & ADVOCACY IN DIGITAL AGE

INSTRUCTOR S. Fitzpatrick

Nearly every Constitution around the world was created as a direct result of lengthy civil disagreement. America’s own founding fathers argued over an overwhelming number of issues at the Philadelphia Convention. President George Washington’s letter to the President of Congress of 17 September 1787 emphasized that their work was “the result of a spirit of amity, and of that mutual deference and concession which the peculiarity of our political situation rendered indispensable.” Today, living in a world widely polarized, we may very well wonder: what happened to that spirit of mutual deference?

GRADES 6–9 TIME Full-Day $800

The most successful mediators and peacekeepers understand the value of autonomy and the importance of civil disagreement and civil discourse. While we may not always agree on policy, everyone treasures their independence and desires to have their views acknowledged as legitimate. History shows us the very real consequences to be borne when we dismiss, demean, silence or otherwise trample upon the autonomy of another human being. If we wish to avoid repeating these mistakes we must all work together to revive civic discourse and learning to disagree in a civil manner is the first step. This course will give you the tools you need to utilize civil disagreement to open the hearts and minds of others and move toward positive, sustainable change. You will build on public speaking skills, negotiation, debates, and other forms of conflict resolution to better understand best practices for resolving disagreements and reaching compromise. Through analysis, reflection and multi-party simulations, you will learn the best ways to revive civil disagreement and civil discourse in your communities.

PRE-ALGEBRA REVIEW This course provides rising sixth and seventh grade students with the opportunity to improve their understanding of fractions, decimals, and percentages, as well as various other general math topics. Students will also have an opportunity to learn mathematics not frequently taught in a typical fifth or sixth grade mathematics course, potentially including but not limited to number theory, knot theory, logic, combinatorics, and fractals. This course allows students who are new to Hackley or need a refresher to become familiar with “Singapore math” strategies. It also provides an alternative to tutoring for students who need support, and offers consistent practice to students whose skills have weakened during the summer months.

FUNDAMENTALS IN EFFECTIVE WRITING AND DISCUSSION In this three-week summer course, we provide students with the foundational reading and writing skills necessary to succeed in the Upper School English classroom. The course will meet for two weeks at the start of the summer and reconvene prior to the start of school for a final “tune-up” week. The course will focus primarily on close reading skills and the structural elements of an analytical essay with particular emphasis on the nature of an argumentative claim and effective use of textual evidence. Given that the English classes at Hackley are predominately discussion-based, we will also spend time on how to contribute effectively to a conversation and how to generate thoughtful discussion.

QUADRATIC TOPICS In this course, students build on their study of linear topics and begin to explore quadratic equations. We begin with a study of systems of linear equations before we tackle exponents, exponential functions, and quadratic equations. We conclude our study with polynomials and factoring, rational equations and functions, and radicals and their relationship to geometry. Covering the second half of algebra over the summer is a challenging task, and thus we only recommend this to students who are willing to invest both time and effort in this course and its accompanying homework. We also suggest that only those who have demonstrated mastery of the material in the Linear Topics course by earning a Trimester 1 and Trimester 2 grade of A- or better and their teacher’s recommendation consider registering for the course.

SUMMER GEOMETRY In this Euclidean geometry course, the main emphasis is on plane geometry. The traditional topics are covered: parallel lines and planes, congruency, quadrilaterals, similarity, right triangle relationships, circles, polygons, and constructions. Direct and indirect proofs are taught as methods of reasoning. Non-Euclidean topics such as solid geometry, coordinate geometry, and transformational geometry are introduced. Hackley Student Prerequisite: Math 301 or 380 or an Algebra I course which covers linear and quadratic functions

READING AND WRITING FOR HISTORY: FROM THE MEDIEVAL TO THE MODERN WORLD

INSTRUCTOR A. Maisonet

This two week, full day course is designed to introduce foundational history skills to newcomers to Hackley’s ninth grade as well as to returning students who want to reinforce these skills. Students will practice the close reading of medieval and renaissance primary and secondary sources to practice and to enhance critical thinking skills. These include highlighting, annotating, and note taking as well as free writing responses to short prompts. The course content will explore the mindset of the medieval world and how it transitioned into the modern era. This study includes crucial developments in religion, economics, and politics and their successive expressions in architecture, art, and literature. Units include the study of Feudalism, Monastic Life, the Papacy, the Medici in Florence, the Protestant Reformation, and the Scientific Revolution.

PRECALCULUS REVIEW FOR AP CALCULUS AB This week-long course is designed to help students consolidate their understanding of the topics covered in Algebra II & Trigonometry and Precalculus that are frequently used in AP Calculus. One area that students find difficult in the AP Calculus course, is the need for immediate recall of these topics and this can sometimes put a student in a position where demonstrating their solid understanding of calculus is hindered. This course will cover these topics using a variety of techniques (e.g. activities, iPads) and will enable students to start AP Calculus AB with confidence.

DATE Aug 12–16 INSTRUCTOR K. Richardson GRADE 11–12 TIME Afternoons

INTRODUCTION TO AP CALCULUS AB In this week-long course students will be introduced to the fundamentals of calculus by covering limits, continuity, derivatives, and differentiation rules. As some students find these concepts quite different from pre-calculus, the start of calculus can be challenging due to the unfamiliarity rather than difficulty. By having exposure to these topics in the summer, students find the transition from pre-calculus to calculus less stressful and are provided with a greater command of the mathematics. This will give them a leg up during an important year.

PERSONAL NARRATIVE AND THE COLLEGE ESSAY Personal Narrative & the College Essay will ask students to write in a personal mode that will in & of itself prove rewarding — but that mode of writing should ease their work in producing that most distinctive of literary productions: the college essay. By reading an array of sample college essays from years past, studying closely canonical & contemporary essays by writers with recognizably unique voices, & participating in a workshop peer review setting, students will leave the course not only with a deep understanding of the personal essay as an art form, but also they will produce a number of viable personal essays that they might then use in their various applications. Potential readings include, but are not limited to, works by Joan Didion, Frank Bruni, Mark Twain, Flannery O’Connor, Rebecca Solnit, John Jeremiah Sullivan, & others.

SCREENWRITING FOR MOVIES AND TV If this is the “golden age of television” with more outlets for original content than ever before, then why not get into the game yourself? If movies can be shot on an iPhone, and are distributed in theaters and through streaming platforms simultaneously, why not develop your own feature-length script? The problem is, how do you write a script that sells? How do you prepare pitches that pop? This course will help you develop your ideas into a script that is market-ready. In class, we will break down movies and television episodes to see the features of a strong script. Class lessons are designed to teach such aspects of screenwriting as character, story structure & plot, conflict, theme, tone, genre, setting, drafting & revising, and giving & receiving feedback. Class session will allow us to study examples of these traits of writing, and offer opportunities for practice writing exercises, developing ideas, and planning for a full-length work. If you’re curious about writing for either the big or small screen, there is no better way to improve than putting your script to the test of seeing how an audience reacts to it.

LIVING YOUR BEST LIFE This course is an interdisciplinary exploration of the questions that shape how we live our lives. How can we find fulfillment and become excellent in a competitive world and remain true to our sense of what is right? What are some fragments of our authentic self that we can find reflected in texts external to, but also somehow familiar to, ourselves? How can we develop the discernment to select things to consume that will affirm our identities rather than define them? A variety of experiences and texts support this deep dive into the study of human nature. Informal writing — focused free writes, journaling, and interviews — will engage with texts, images, videos, and personal experience.
