In this class, we will read and discuss fairy tales and their historic background, analyze the values we learn from them, re-tell the stories from the perspective of the characters other than those we know well, and create teams of defense and prosecuting attorneys and jurors to bring some of these characters to justice. Open to all students. While nearly everyone has heard of freedom of speech, few know about the limits the law places on that freedom. Join us to create your own arguments that would stand up in a court of law as you explore freedom of speech both historically and in the United States today. Open to all students.
Movies can breathe life into the words of a history textbook.
Be a film critic as we analyze the accuracy and impact of popular movies with historical themes to separate fact from fiction. Even after more than fifty years, we need to ask ourselves how the world allowed this to happen. Students will use a variety of sources, including a personal account from a Holocaust survivor and a visit to the Holocaust Museum to answer this question and the implications it has for the world today. Open to all students. 54- Radicals in American History.
