This course deepens students’ awareness of their own cultures while encouraging them to grow in their understanding of other cultures.

• Writing, Reading & Literature Workshop: Based on the highly successful National Writing Project and Six Traits of Writing models, this workshop emphasizes reading and writing as integrated activities to develop independent writers.
