Humanities - 10/31

We have officially launched our new unit on "Motivations to Explore". The term explore is being used in its broadest sense. From now until the December break, students will learn about historical, current, and possible future exploration. They will think about why people have historically explored and what motivates current exploration. We will also think, from a literary standpoint, about self-exploration and examine writing that supports this topic. Students will work on using primary and secondary sources, write summaries of text, and ultimately, put together a memoir of sorts regarding their own exploration. More details to follow.
