Critical Events Literacy 

​

The primary goal of Current Events Literacy is for students to develop a background in 20th century world issues, which helps foster a stronger understanding of the world today. We cover a variety of historical topics ranging form the Palestinian/Israeli Conflict to Apartheid, while emphasizing overarching themes that include: economy, political systems, the legacy of imperialism, and the changing face of leadership.

 

We use group projects, discussion and debates, and reading a variety of sources to help students develop a sound understanding of current world issues. Critical thinking, collaboration, and writing are all skills emphasized in this class.
