Tuscarora High – National and Global Issues0.5 cr.

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

This half credit course is an abbreviated version of the original course and provides students the opportunity to study and discuss current national and global issues – such as the global economy and national and international conflicts – in an organized and scholarly manner. Participation may involve reading newspapers and news magazines, researching and writing about specific world problems, class discussions, and debating on various topics. Topics may be political or social and therefore controversial. Students should be able to consider divergent opinions with the expectation of developing skills to support opinion with fact. As the way in which technology affects the collection and dissemination of news, students may be using technology to analyze its impact on the spread of information worldwide.
