Chris Hedges' Empire of Illusion | The New School

THE NEW SCHOOL | www.newschool.edu Journalist Chris Hedges discusses his recent book Empire of Illusion the End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle. In it, he charts the dramatic rise of a post-literate society that craves fantasy, ecstasy, and illusion. Hedges argues we now live in two societies: one, the minority, functions in a print-based, literate world and can cope with complexity and can separate illusion from truth; the other, a growing majority, is retreating from a reality-based world into one of false certainty and magic where serious film and theater, as well as newspapers and books, are being pushed to the margins. Chris Hedges, author of War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning, is currently a senior fellow at The Nation Institute and the Anschutz Distinguished Fellow at Princeton University. He writes for many publications, including Foreign Affairs, Harpers, The New York Review of Books, Granta, and Mother Jones. He is also a columnist for Truthdig.com. Co-sponsored by the Writing Program | www.newschool.edu Department of Media Studies and Film | www.newschool.edu and the Vera List Center for Art and Politics | www.newschool.edu and www.veralistcenter.org * Location Theresa Lang Community and Student Center, Arnhold Hall. 12/08/2009 7:00 pm

School Halloween party ideas and entertainment activities for the PTO and PTA groups

There are a lot of primary schools to celebrate October - pumpkins, cider, autumn leaves, and, of course, Halloween. These traditions are interesting autumn perfect opportunity for the PTO and PTA groups to plan activities for fun and enrichment for their students and families of the school.

Halloween parties are a classic case of elementary school Halloween. Many schools have decided, however, far from the school's traditional Halloween party in favor of an event which is themed moreto "Fall Harvest Time". The "Fall Harvest Time" parts have more of a focus on pumpkins, apples and cider as ghosts, skeletons, witches.

Regardless of which side your PTO or PTA group selected theme is hosting a successful Oktoberfest takes a long time volunteer, organization and planning. It 'important to know that support parents in the PTO group who are willing to volunteer time and resources to lead the party to success.

After obtaining theVolunteers, you can begin planning the activities and entertainment for the party. You should also decide whether students will be allowed to wear costumes to the party, and if there are certain restrictions that wear costumes (no masks, no weapons, etc.) can.

School Halloween party could include a wide variety of your enjoyment. Our favorite is "haunted room, where a simple" fear "Haunted House maze is created not so muchblack plastic hanging from the ceiling. Along the way, students encounter teachers who are dressed in silly costumes and scenes of Halloween fun to play.

Trick-or-treat from one class to another is always a hit with students. You can encourage creativity and decorate the spirit of class, inviting each class in her room for a Halloween theme.

Many schools hire a DJ who plays music at parties for Halloween as a "conversation" about her. In general, however, elementary studentswould be more interest in other activities and games, a Halloween dance. Therefore, the cost of a professional DJ (usually $ 100 + per hour) is not required for a party of primary school. With advances in digital music players, a PTA parent volunteer could easily create a list of Halloween fun to play songs on your iPod or computer and play during the party.

Halloween Party more like a magic show and puppet show, students can be successful andThe parents, but should not be scheduled at a time that would conflict with other activities during the party. Instead, it is best to plan the Halloween party at the end of the conversation. This will give you the ultimate fun for your events and to keep the families of the whole party.

The alternative is that your school is for the Oktoberfest party in a site, offers a Halloween or autumn theme, the exhibition schedule. They will look longvery far to find a local Hayride, Pumpkin Patch, a farm or corn maze, which would accommodate your school group. Many of these sites were already "Halloween Party" packages, card games and food for their attraction and business areas are planned. At the beginning of school can be prohibitive to the outside, but if you compare with what the curriculum of the PTO would be spent on food, decorations and entertainment for an in, you may find that it is verylittle difference.

As a bonus, PTA and PTO provided the parties that are hosted outside of the school attended often better than you to offer families a unique experience of entertainment.

There are many moderators assembly, showing the school that must be written in the fall and Halloween themes and messages. Rent an editing program or show of Halloween is the most simple and easy for the PTO group, some Halloween and fall to bring their students. Aprofessional installation company will host in your school, what they need to get to put a program, there are few resources or time required of volunteers.

Halloween and fall time of assembly language programs range from musical and theatrical performances of youth groups in magic and illusion. The content of these shows are usually very cheerful depictions of Halloween, with a focus on "stupid fun" instead of something sinister and frightening. Often, even the moderatorplot of Halloween and trick-or-treat safety messages in the show.

Unfortunately, there are many horror stories of the Assemblies of Halloween, which had an entire kindergarten class in tears because the speaker has presented the content that is not age appropriate. Blood, blood images too scary and swords and knives have no place in a show for the public elementary school, but unfortunately end up on display the artists', who are inexperienced with entertaining young audiences.Be sure you are hiring a professional animator and with a reputation for booking school assembly company, to avoid nasty surprises on the day of show.

No matter what your choice of Halloween activities PTO / PTA group is planning to do early is essential to ensure a successful event and headache-free. 31. October may seem far away as possible, at the beginning of the school year, but with the excitement of back-to-school time the door opened, and fund-raising kick-off Halloweenreside there. If you decide on a timetable for Halloween Committee before school starts in June, or at least until August. If you are taking a programming assembly of Halloween, the longer you wait to book, the less opportunity for the dates and times are going to choose.
