English Rights, Rites, and Writes Year 10

English Rights, Rites and Writes is a course about our rights, how we can know if we are doing the right thing, and what we can do to make things right. 

This is an integrated course with Social Science so you will select this class and Mind, Meaning and Morality on Line 2

Our aim is to strengthen your writing skills to clearly communicate an argument.  We will also focus on our reading skills, to teach you to interpret what you read, and to question the truth when reading.    We will also aim to strengthen your thinking skills so that you are able to question the ethical issues presented through an historical lense.  “Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it,” and your voice can be powerful when your own ethics are being challenged.

This course is for curious minds who like to think about the “why?” of how our minds work. We will explore why we act and feel the way we do through psychology, think about how we can know what the right thing to do is through ethics and philosophy, and explore how different cultures and groups think about the world in different ways. If you want to learn more about big questions, experiments of the mind or want to try and solve problems and debate then this is the course for you.
