San Diego Jewish Academy
10th Grade Humanities
2001-02 Syllabus


Integrating language arts, world history, art, design, and technology to achieve the goals of the California State Standards and inspire a true love of learning.
California State Standards

WORLD HISTORY, CULTURE, AND GEOGRAPHY: THE MODERN WORLD
Students in grade ten study major turning points that shaped the modern world, from the late eighteenth century through the present, including the cause and course of the two world wars. They trace the rise of democratic ideas and develop an understanding of the historical roots of current world issues, especially as they pertain to international relations. They extrapolate from the American experience that democratic ideals are often achieved at a high price, remain vulnerable and are not practiced everywhere in the world. Students develop an understanding of current world issues and relate them to their historical, geographic, political, economic, and cultural contexts. Students consider multiple accounts of events in order to understand international relations from a variety of perspectives. - http://score.rims.k12.ca.us/standards/grade10.html

How am I to live?

A question asked of those ready to move on to new adventures...perhaps these three stones will provide a firm footing with which you may continue your journey:

Humanity - Interacting with people in ways that show acceptance and understanding of multiple perspectives, not merely your own.

Thoughtfulness - Interacting with people in ways that show care in the use of constructive and helpful language, both verbal and nonverbal, as well as knowing when to or not to continue the interaction.

Strength - Interacting with people in ways that show clarity and conviction through humane and thoughtful deeds even during times of stress.

Congratulations on the steps you’ve taken. We’re so proud of your progress.
