Humanities Projects
Humanities Projects are multi-disciplinary units which focus on a certain historical place and time. In terms of scope they follow the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks for Social Studies for grades 7 - 9, but in a creative and cohesive format.
Humanities Projects take an historical look at the civilizations and cultures around the world and bring these places to life by incorporating other disciplines such as language, architecture, art and music in an in-depth study.
