Humanities 9

History

Grade 9

Through extensive study of Hebrew Scripture and other primary sources, Humanities 9 introduces students to ancient narratives that portray the social, religious, political, economic, and cultural conditions of the Ancient Near East. The ancient Israelites are compared with other ancient cultures, from the Sumerians to the Greeks. Primary and secondary sources such as films, works of art, essays, and epics are also studied for their interpretations of characters and events. The course ends with the collision of Jewish and Greek civilization during the Hellenization of Israel.
