Conquerors and Queens: Ancient Empire-Builders

Catalog description

This learning community combines history and literature in an interdisciplinary exploration of the Ancient World from Greece and Rome to the Middle East. We will focus on specific themes of contemporary significance within their historical context, and emphasize the development of argument and analysis as students work with a variety of texts. Students will learn advanced research skills, including methods of documentation, the use of library and Internet research and the synthesis and integration of primary and secondary sources into their own essays.
