Comparative Government and Geographical Issues

GRADE: 11th-12th

LENGTH: One Semester

In Comparative Government and Geographical Issues, students study governmental topics from the philosophy behind government, to the foundations of American Government and various other forms of government found around the world, to foreign policy issues facing today’s leaders. In addition, we will discuss both state and local governments and the impact they have on our daily lives. Throughout this class, students will not only learn about key people and events related to government and its role in the world we live in, but they are also challenged to connect the past to the present, research topics of personal interest to answer a compelling question, and use analytical skills to develop creative projects.
