More Information about the Humanities Program:
The Humanities and Communication
Center Program provides unique and challenging learning opportunities
in a three-year program for middle school students. Designed
around a strong interdisciplinary humanities program, this center
focuses on developing students’ ability to use language
and media effectively to present results of their academic inquiry
within the Montgomery
County Public
Schools
Program of Studies. The program offers students intensive courses
in writing and opportunities for their finest writing products
to be
published and
broadcast.
Students use computer labs to draft, edit, and polish their work
to publication quality. They incorporate their writing skills
with those learned in other
ides to create such pieces as position papers, plays, brochures,
and magazine articles.
Students will have hands-on opportunities to work as members of production
teams in Clemente’s television studios.
Students will gain skills as performers,
video-graphers, producers, directors, audio engineers, editors, and
graphic artists. In addition to television, students also work with
radio, video,
and digital
multimedia projects. The world studies curriculum provides the framework
for the humanities center program. Students will make cross cultural
connections
by working as part of a group to develop an understanding of historical
events that
will later lead to problem-solving tasks with real-world issues.
