A2 World History & Geography 2011-12
 This class builds on A1's world history and geography exposure, and prepares students for A3 IB social studies through project-based learning; research instruction and support; and a dynamic, active classroom in which meaningful discussions, experiences, and relationships inspire learning. See the syllabus attached below in the class downloads section for more details.
Civics & Government 2010-11
 In Civics & Government students will study and explore the meaning of citizenship, analyze American society and its values and norms, learn how the U.S. government operates, examine how its citizens actively or passively participate in the political process, and identify how economics is a guiding force in the machine of American civic life. We will meet MN state standards in 'Government and Citizenship' and 'Economics' while learning in an active and exciting classroom that honors both academic development and fun.
History & The Future
Course Objective
To explore the ways science fiction addresses social issues through books, short stories, film, and other media. How does science fiction explain and evaluate history? How does it both imagine and affect the future? How does science fiction disguise contemporary issues and dilemmas as fantasy, and in so doing, effectively allow people to understand critical social issues in powerful ways that change the way we think about the world? |
