Welcome to your sophomore year, Class of
2011!
Humanities
 What
is truth? Who should rule? These questions born of the
Enlightenment guide our study of global history from 1750 - 1900.
Special emphasis is also placed on the "missing voices" of
history.
Through careful examinations of literature, art, and
primary source documents, we will learn about the past in
order to understand the world we live in today.
This painting by John Gast is entitled
"American Progress" and served as a metaphor for Manifest
Destiny in the late 1800s. Today it sheds light on the attitudes of
the time period.
Key course documents will be posted throughout the quint, as well
as links to research sites and an online bulletin board. Students
will receive Unit Calendars complete with daily homework
assignments, long-term projects and exam dates.
