Course Description

Humanities is the idea that History and English have natural connection and should be taught together. In this course, you will experience an introduction to the historical themes of Global Expansion and Encounter as well as the Literature of the 15th-18th centuries. Included will be geography, civics, trade, interconnections, and innovations. You will develop your expressive skills through composition, media, public speaking, exposition, persuasion, and poetry. Honors credit options will be available through the instructor. Successful completion of this year-long course will satisfy 1.0 credit of English and .5 credit of social studies. It is a prerequisite course for Humanities 10.

Learning will be assessed in a variety of methods: comparisons to scoring rubrics and models, traditional tests, demonstrations of ability to apply knowledge, projects, teacher observations/evaluations, peer evaluation, and journals.
