2. Blogs are an intricate part of my classes. I have developed
external Blogs for each of my classes to involve my students in
interactive and collaborative investigations on unit or topics and
significant concepts. Many of the media works were edited or
created by James Williams. Please keep in mind the blog comments
are raw so as to encourage students to work without the weight of
assessment.
During Year 7 the students undertake a course of study that
introduces them to both some of the areas incorporated in
Humanities and the skills needed to study this subject.

3. Threemajor inquiries will be undertaken in the
Year 8 Humanities program:
How do new ideas change the world we live in?Why did different
cultures begin the age of exploration and invasion? How did this
impact on indigenous cultures?We will investigate major movements
for world exploration in Europe, China, and the Middle East.
What role do people play in shaping the lives of others elsewhere
in the world today, and historically?Why do some consider
colonialism negative, while others consider colonialism positive?
What are the long lasting affects of colonialism and imperialism?
How is imperialism still happening today?
Can development be universal and sustainable for all people?How can
we determine the standard of living in a country?The major focus
will be on understanding and analyzing development of countries
through the Human Development indicators with a particular emphasis
on the development challenges facing China.

4. The Year 10 Humanities courseuses an integrated approach of
teaching and learning,bringing together the skills and knowledge of
history, geography, economics and business. The courseuses the
United States of America and South Africa as stimuli to explore
issues and concepts.
Year 10 tries to address the Guiding Question: To what extent
should a government be accountable for the welfare of its
people?

5. Theory of Knowledge (TOK) is an interdisciplinary requirement
intended to stimulate critical reflection on the knowledge and
experience gained inside and outside the classroom. The course
challenges students to question the bases of knowledge, to be aware
of subjective and ideological biases, and to develop the ability to
analyze evidence expressed in rational argument. TOK encourages
students to become aware of themselves as thinkers, and to be
critical of the assumptions on which much knowledge is based.
