Description
The American Humanities course integrates the American Literature (11th grade English) and Virginia/U.S. History curricula to offer students a blended learning experience that emphasizes the analysis of big ideas and compelling questions that are rooted in history and English. Learning experiences will engage students in connecting the fiction and nonfiction they read, important concepts and themes from U.S. History, the diverse art and culture of America, and their own experiences and interests in their analysis of these big ideas. Students will acquire skills that are transferable across content areas. Students in American Humanities will be enrolled in both Virginia and United States History (2360) and English 11 (1150C).

• Consider cross-curricular themes in humanities
• Complete assessments that include course content from English/language arts and social studies.

• Take the Virginia and U.S. History end-of-course assessment to earn 1 verified credit if necessary
