Class Description
Humanities class is a combination of reading different types of texts, writing, and history. Students are able to understand the term “humanities” by making clear connections between literature and history.
In this class, students in the sixth grade will be taking a journey through different cultures by interacting with the Amplify Curriculum. Students will be reading and writing different types of texts and stories in their exploration of these units. This class will address the diversity of student learning styles and connect to the new Common Core State Standards.

These standards require all of us to be proficient 21st Century, critical thinkers, independent readers, and effective communicators.
