Welcome to 6th Grade Humanities!

Course Overview:

Humanities 6 is a thematic investigation of ancient world history from early humans to the middle of the second millennium. Around the globe, our class will encounter a ton of amazing cultures, brilliant people, clever examples of human ingenuity, and heartbreaking tales of human cruelty. At the same time, we’ll always be focused on answering our essential questions and honing our literacy skills in tandem with ELA class, specifically focusing on annotation, source analysis, research skills, and supporting complicated historical claims in our speech and writing.
