Summary
104 word summary
Studying humanities helps students understand themselves by expressing their thoughts and provoking questions. The biggest challenge for middle school students is organization, as they have multiple classes and homework from different teachers. Helping them with organization in the beginning pays off in the long run. In middle school, students start to look beyond their own circle and community, which is the focus of the humanities program. The goal is for students to understand their role in their community, themselves, and the world. The best part of working with these students is witnessing the moment when they make connections between classroom learning and real-life experiences.
