H3553: Shouting at the Top of Our Lungs: The Modern American Story in HSSP Summer 2010 (Jul. 11, 2010 - Jul. 11, 2011)
A multi-media examination of the modern American story and how the increasingly diverse population is struggling to have their voice heard. Students will watch, read, engage and analyze movies, television shows, comic books, blogs and magazines as we attempt to discover what it means to be American in today's media-saturated world. We will contemplate what, for better or worse, makes our country unique and attempt to predict the future of our nation. This class will focus on developing analytical skills and theories of modern media criticism. Students should be prepared to develop original opinions based on the story of the week and debate their classmates on the story's merit.
