Mr. Murray's English 11 - CURRENT ISSUES & MODERN MEDIA

English 11 - CURRENT ISSUES AND MODERN MEDIA

   WEBSITE 12

 

Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself." - Leo Tolstoy

 

The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking." - Albert Einstein

 

 

 

Current Issues and Modern Media examines human nature and modern themes through a creative and critical lens.  It examines the role technology and human nature plays in our lives and the role of the individual in sculpting the future of the planet. 

 

The course draws upon modern media and classical texts to examine 21st Century culture and its citizens. Students will be challenged to find  individual expression and voice through creative and academic challenges.  Assessment will include both traditional methods and  a personal portfolio that allows students to express individual ideas through a variety of strategies.
