Question

Imagine your city builds a new high school. Half the students at your current high school will have to attend the new one next year. You are one of them. The school board calls a meeting to name the new school and select a mascot for its extracurricular programs. One meeting turns into several as emotions run high.

Everyone has a different opinion on the name and mascot for the school. Some people favor naming it after a historical figure. Yet no one can agree on which one. Others think it should reflect local culture. People have suggested animals ranging from ants to yaks for the mascot.

Answer 1

Everyone agrees that the choices are important and will affect the reputation and morale at the new school.

Imagine yourself as an upcoming senior who will have to attend the new school. You have been given the floor for two to three minutes to share your feelings with the school board and attendees of the meeting. As you take the microphone you must answer questions 1 through 4 within your two- to three-minute commentary. Remember that your objective is to persuade your audience. Please be sure that you are writing in complete sentences.
How would you name the school? What would be its mascot? Explain your choices.
Why do you think symbols like a name or mascot are so important to the people of the city?
Why would it be important to the students?
What are two goals you could recommend the new principal to consider when opening up the
new school?
Identify two challenges that principal may have in achieving those goals?
Now answer the following reflection questions, making sure to include information from the lesson. Again, be sure that you are writing in complete sentences.

Answer 16

This is what I put for part B and I got 100%. Please do not copy this word for word and use it as a guide only.

Part B
Similar to the example of the school spitting, the Roman Empire was permanently split into East and West due to widening cultural differences and powerful disagreements over which political center had the authority to rule over the Roman Church. The Byzantine Empire in the east thrived while the west declined. The east thrived because they continued Roman law and traditions and codified Roman laws while removing conflicting, duplicated, and outdated Roman laws. They also continued Roman culture by combining it with aspects of peoples closer to Constantinople. The Byzantine Empire became a melting pot, where Eastern and Western cultures merged.
In the school example, the splitting of the school and rezoning is most likely due to over population not conflict. The formation of a new school gives the community the chance to name and determine the mascot and goals. One would hope the new school would be like the Byzantine Empire, a melting pot where it would combine old traditions and values with new.

Answer 17

For Part A I wrote a detailed paragraph on the name I selected and mascot. I also included the following which is important when opening and naming a school. I hope this helps. Please do not copy word for word. I am posting this to give others ideas in order for you to write your own assignment.

The new principal should consider these two important goals when opening up a new school. First, the new principal should consider the naming of the school will reflect on the identity of the school which will impact and shape the civic values of those who attend. Secondly, the new principal should consider the make-up of the population that will attend along with the importance of preserving heritage and traditions along with creating new ones.
Two challenges that may be faced are selecting a name that will appease to the majority of the population and collecting and interpreting the ideas of the public to come to the conclusion of a name. Whatever name officials decide upon, I hope it helps foster a sense of community for the new schools and also sets a high bar for the educational standards we will want to see in place.

Answer 18

Mascots are popular and important symbols for schools because people focus on this particular symbol for good luck and guidance. It is important to the students because the mascot will be integrated into all major events such as sports, band and all school memorabilia such as year books and shirts.
