Text Box: Course Objective: The Humanities objective is to help students perfect essential skills such as effective    writing, critical reading, critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and creativity by exposing students to diverse ideas and values through an emphasis on works of art, music, and literature as well as philosophical, historical, environmental, and religious writings from a variety of diverse world cultures and time periods. This year’s theme is “Youth of a Nation”. We will be exploring, through various literary and artistic sources, how the human experience has been impacted by and has impacted literature. The goal of this course is to support and enhance students’ development as independent readers and writers, while at the same time fostering a community of learners who understand the impact historical events continue to hold on the modern era. A major focus throughout this course will be the human toll that youths have endured throughout the ages. By focusing on the youth movements throughout history, students in this class will be able to develop empathy and deeper understandings of those whom were once considered their peers. Students will learn to read and write for a variety of purposes and will be exposed to historical events through multiple genres, including novels, short stories, nonfiction texts, poetry and artistic expression.  rs.
