Why are these courses linked?

English 101 with History 109 is a perfect combination of classes. They are linked so that students may experience the important connection between college level reading, composition and history.  Students will be given reading assignments in History 109 and will be asked to research and analyze the same readings in English 101.

In addition to being linked, these classes have a common theme - “History Rocks.”  Students will cultivate a multi-layered understanding of the content of history, based on a critical analysis of primary and secondary resources, narratives and testimonials.  Experiential learning and community based activities will also support a crucial understanding of how history has shaped our world today.
