Course 250: 2 credits (1 credit of English, 1 credit of Social Studies)
American Studies is an integrated, interdisciplinary, team taught
course. This two-credit course meets for two periods a day with both a
Social Studies and English faculty member present. Students focus on
American literature, history, and culture while completing traditional classroom
activities, group projects, and individual research projects. Students
read relevant fiction and non-fiction about the themes they are studying and
find material illustrating that the themes are still alive today. Students
learn in a variety of ways and become active participants in the learning
process. Group cooperation, writing, and critical thinking are among those
skills that are taught and reinforced. (Students need recommendation from
both their English 9 and World History teachers and a B+ or better for the year
in both classes.)
