Social Studies 11 is an exploratory course designed to inform and engage students in a variety of different topics including: identity, cultural expressions, world history, politics, current events, social justice, and global development from a number of different backgrounds.  Units of study will include sections from 20th Century History, Philosophy, Human Geography, Genocide Studies, Law and Psychology.   Students will submerge themselves in a number of topics by using inquiry processes and skills to ask questions; gather, interpret, and analyze ideas; and communicate findings and decisions. This course will ask students to think critically on how and why the events, people, cultures, laws and politics of the world matter, and how we can become more informed citizens.
