The societies and cultures of man will be studied to better understand the conflicts which confront nations today. Current events will be studied in each unit. This eleventh grade course is the first of a two-year sequence that chronologically studies the early period through the Civil War and the settlement of the West to 1914. Each unit of study will be developed fully in other one-year courses. A comprehensive study of society will be covered.
Current affairs are also a part of the course.
Students entering this special program are committed to a two-year sequence. In the 11th grade the course will cover the entire history of America from the Colonial Period to the present. This course will not be presented in the depth involved in the regular program and will be more topical than chronological. This course covers history and literature arranged by themes rather than dates. Among the themes are prosperity, depression, war, progress, and human rights.
