Course Description

The Humanities department at Fusion seeks to provide students with the tools and skills to analyze historical information, with an emphasis on literacy skills and critical thinking. The Civics course for freshmen builds the framework by: fostering and expanding students’ knowledge of the government, politics, and ideas that serve as the foundation of our nation; encouraging active involvement in the democratic process; and deepening their personal understanding of what it means to be an American.  The course will work to improve students’ reading, writing, and listening skills through analysis of current events, open discussion, writing assignments, and effective note-taking.
