Description and Overview: The Middle School Humanities course is designed to begin preparation for high
school English and History courses. The course will combine the disciplines of English Language Arts and
History into one meaningful learning experience. Course content will be approached thematically, and
students will work collaboratively to access and make meaning of both historical and literary concepts. We
will utilize project-based learning so that students will be able to comprehend themes which run through
the humanities. Students will read and study a variety of literature, as well as practice multiple genres of
writing. Through their literature and writing genre studies, students will enhance their grammar
proficiencies and vocabulary repertoire. Students will also learn research, revision, and presentation skills.
