I still believe that it works to teach the skills and strategies of  LA through SS. We used to pull texts to teach reading and writing skills--we can use SS texts for it instead.

To integrate Social Studies and Language Arts into one. Language Arts should be the focus with text pulled from Social Studies to teach Language Arts. Basic skills have to be taught in LA.

To see more of an equal focus on both content areas. If there is a continuation of both contents being taught together, write AKS to accommodate that.

It should be the blending of those concepts that remind us of what it's like to be human. This should encompass different disciplines such as Psychology, Philosophy, Art, Literature, Sociology, which all strive to give us a deeper sense of empathy.

My vision for humanities would be that both subjects are seamless. Both should be embedded into one another, and should count as one subject. Maybe the curriculum is created over the summer to include all content, but presented as one class.

The vision of humanities is tricky; but should incorporate both ELA and SS as one unit, but not limiting one for the other.

Integrated content of language arts and social studies. Equal emphasis on both content areas. Pieces of curriculum not forced in PBL. Content should flow and content for both should not be taught in isolation.

Literacy should be a school-wide endeavor simple because there are too many AKS housed in the current humanities curriculum. If humanities is responsible for all of the grade level LA and SS curriculum then DAs need to look different to align with our formatives.  Also writing is  a huge piece that takes time which we do not have in a AKS classroom. A writing specialist would be golden.

To integrate Language Arts and Social Studies; through the use of language arts skills and social studies curriculum.

To me the vision would be truly get an understanding, vision, and mission statement for Humanities. This may including reviewing all the County and State standards for LA and SS at each grade level, with an eye toward, if we are making a new curriculum, which AKS may no longer be a part of this and which stay. This would also mean different County tests created just for Humanities. It is hard to truly integrate both subjects in the time alloted and still be responsible for all of the AKS for both SS and LA.

Another thought may be to determine the amount of time given for Humanities classes. The right amount of time needs to be set so that students and teachers can feel they are accomplishing and mastering the vision of Humanities.

To build our students' Language Arts skills and integrate those skills with Social Studies AKS.

I believe that Humanities can be implement if a curriculum is written focusing on the integration of Social Studies and Language Arts.

During the creation of the curriculum we must focus on the essentials of Language Arts while we take the opportunity to use Social Studies as part of the content to teach Humanities.
Flexibility is the key to reach the vision of implementing Humanities.

I'd like to see Humanities team taught and blocked.  For example, one a traditional four-man team, students would have math and science as 1st and 2nd academic and a Humanities block as 3rd and 4th academic.  That allows for two experts in content in the classroom, two people responsible for the two areas of content, flexibility in splitting into ELA and SS for the day if needed, and removal of the stress of Humanities counting twice for promotion.

The vision for a Humanities course is for students to learn and utilize English Language Arts skills to develop literacy of the content.  ELA serves as a vehicle by which to deepen understanding of the content and provide communication opportunties pervasively within the content. Humanities serves to build global perspective, empathy, and historical knowledge.
