Exploring Current Topics

1135 Exploring Current Topics

Grades 11 & 12: .5 Credit College Prep

How do issues and events around the world impact our lives today?

Highly interactive and project-based by design, this course affords students the opportunity to explore current issues using film and multiple media sources to generate dialogue and examination. Significant time is dedicated for discussion and debate. The course is strongly recommended for juniors and seniors who would benefit from hands-on application of 1:1 devices in order to conduct research on current events, issues and people on a regular basis. Students will come to appreciate media and online research as tools for gathering and filtering information on current topics.
