LA2015BW English 12 Humanities B Web T2

Students in this course will explore the question, *What does it mean to be human?* through the reading of a variety of texts. True involvement with the humanities means involvement with one*s self, so students will be expected to stretch and expand their capacities for thought by asking a multitude of questions and reflecting on possible answers. As a part of the critical thinking process, students will demonstrate the ability to write using proper grammar, language mechanics, and other conventions of standard written English for a variety of academic purposes. The three forms of academic writing focus on the personal narrative, the analytic essay, and a paper using the research process.
