This team-taught course blends English-language arts and social studies. The course is a continuation of the American Dream course, focusing on events in a global context, starting with topics that include World War II and Genocide. The purpose is to broaden perspectives and open our eyes to the world around us, its problems, and its connections to the United States. We will examine the unit questions by surveying twentieth and twenty first century history, culture, and literature. We will analyze the evolving role and position of the United States in a globalized world, and examine movements and crises that change the individual’s relationship to society. Students will be empowered to take their knowledge and skills along the way to express their understanding and showcase their deeper realization of the world in which they live, with a variety of digital literacy skills embedded in the course as well. This course will meet the world history requirement.
