  17. Humanities 10 Course Content: In Humanities 10 students will earn credit for both Social Studies 10 and English 10 by delving into issues that thematically connect literature, history and current events. Although Humanities 10 is available to all grade 10 students, this course is designed to appeal to students who are passionate about the humanities and interested in pursuing collaborative critical inquiry. Successful Humanities 10 students should be motivated, self-regulated and responsible when it comes to their learning. It is expected that students who choose to take Humanities 10 will be committed and dedicated to participating and doing their best work in all aspects of the class. Humanities 10 will be double-blocked and taught in a team approach with a clear focus on developing critical thinking and analytical writing. The concepts of marginalization and identity serve as the anchors of this course.
