Assignments/homework for Sept. 2010
Welcome to the Humanities Class, a course which combines world history and sophomore English. We begin our study with a review of how democracy began (which some of you studied in sixth and/or seventh grade). We read Mark Mathabane’s Kaffir Boy, a memoir of a young man’s growing up in a non-democratic society (South Africa, during apartheid). We will also undertake a project on the level of democracy in today’s world.
On-going assignments include:
1. Current Events (due alternating Tuesdays -- in addition to the print edition of newspapers, you may also use the New York Times e-edition [http://classroom.nytimes.com; use 200277762 as user name and password])
2. Recommending Reader (due various times) -- be sure to submit your typed work to turnitin.com
3. Wiki Assignment
4. Democracy Project
