EC1 2024-2025:
Unit2: A Brief History of The United States and The Race Issue in America:
In this unit, we will study American history through the lens of the race issue. After reviewing a few landmarks in American history and culture, we will try and see what the situation is like for African-Americans (and other ethnic minorities) today. In other words, we will reflect on the following question: has MLK's dream come true at last?
Unit3: US Politics and the 20244 Election: "Stranger than Fiction?"
On the eve of the 2024 presidential election, the stakes could not be higher. The two candidates/parties are at loggerheads and are trying to sway undecided voters. In this unit we will try to get a better understanding of the US political system and of the key issues of the campaign. We will also take a look at the campaigning strategies used by the two nominees.
Unit1: The British Monarchy and the Media:
In this unit, we are just getting started! We will focus on the royal events which have taken place in the UK in the last few years (and months!) and consider the way the media report on the Royals. We will also study the repercussions of the Queen's passing. Basically, we will reflect on the monarchy debate and find out more about the British political system, not to mention the Commonwealth.
