Welcome to Mr. Magnuson's American Studies!
American Studies will be an exploration of America through literature, art, history, music and primary sources. Students will work the entire year to answer the questions, “What is America and what is an American?”
This class is designed to prepare students for post secondary education. This will be accomplished through a combination of assignments, readings, writing, in class work, examinations, projects and a culminating research paper.
Students will also be provided with resources to help with test preparation, essay writing, reading techniques, note taking, college admissions information, and more educationally relevant information.
"A man's identity is not best thought of as the way in which he is separated from his fellows but the way in which he is united with them.” -Sideshow Bob
