Spring 2009 Learning Communities
"...we have come to the edge of a world of which we have no experience, and where all our preconceptions must be recast." |  |
Two or three classes are woven together to examine a theme. Subject matter, materials, and assignments are united. A team of teachers and the same set of students attend all class sessions. LEARNING COMMUNITY 001 Umoja II:
Exploring the African-American Experience and Career Planning and Self-Development Throughout the Life Span This Learning Community will allow students to study the dynamics of the African-American family, looking at family systems, birth orders, and structures and functions of this unique group. The basis of this information will be used in assisting students with their personal career choices, job seeking skills and exploration of the changes that occur during African-American family life span and how to make personal family choices. Location: SCC main campus

LEARNING COMMUNITY 002 “Ain’t I a Woman?” Image, Reality, and the Lives of American Women
We all remember Pocahontas, June Cleaver, Barbie, and Lizzie Borden, but how do images of American women like these develop? Using historical and literary works, as well as movies, advertising, music, and everyday objects, in this Learning Community we will examine the impact of the images and realities for women in American history.Location: SCC main campus

LEARNING COMMUNITY 003 Earth Voices: The Earth and Our Human Experiences
Geology provides the context for literature including fiction, poetry, and drama. Our theme includes the human impacts on the Earth as far as mining, resources, water control, global warming, and related topics. In Geology, students learn basic earth science concepts without the in-depth connection to their everyday life, the choices they make, the history of these choices, and how these choices affect and determine the human condition in which they live. Literary selections will give a face and a voice via integrating the human experience with the geological realities. Location: SCC main campus
