San Diego Jewish Academy 10th Grade Humanities 2002-03 Syllabus

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

Poem for our students - September 3, 2002 Yesterday we picked up a smooth grey stone half-buried in the sand. We put it in a blue glass jar to be a new beginning, the first object in a collection. Today is a new beginning for us, a smooth grey stone to rub between our thumbs and forefingers, to inspect closely, to get the feel of. Today has been waiting for us to pick it up and begin.
