American Studies is an interdisciplinary course that is team taught by three teachers.  The course investigates American civilization (with emphasis on the 20th century) in history, literature, philosophy, art, and music.  Students will have the opportunity to enrich their study and their grade by self-initiated projects and extra credit.  Students will study and hone their writing skills through several formats.  Students should be self-motivated learners and should expect out of class reading and work as curriculum follows the accelerated path.  Special interest days include:  Immigration Day (students prepare ethnic food and become and immigrant for one day), Roaring 20s Dinner Party (students research various aspects of the 1920s and then come dressed in 20s attire), and 60s Day (students present 60s power points and come dressed in 60s attire).
