Welcome to 7B Humanities

Project Based Learning

 

Dear Parents,

 

The seventh grade humanities course includes the study of American history paired with American literature. Students also explore the art, music, and culture of the periods studied through different media and cross-curricular activities. They also develop the reading, writing, speaking, and research skills necessary for engaging in the study of the humanities. Learning effective listening and speaking skills is essential for students to promote their ideas, help effect change in their global community, and build critical thinking skills through conversations with both adults and their peers. Throughout the year, students have multiple opportunities to present in front of their peers and the greater school community. Students review different presentation styles, such as persuasive speaking, instructing, debating, participating in book talks, sharing writing, and engaging in personal reflections.
