ENGLISH HUMANITIES Preparation for the Future Humanities is the branch of learning that deals with human thought and culture. The term was applied originally to the study of literature in classical Greece and Rome. It has since been expanded to cover the literature of all countries, and also their arts and philosophies. The most important reason for the existence of the humanities program at Edsel Ford, according to Mr. Brown is, “to help students of able ability levels prepare for their futures.” There are many benefits to be gained from this program. It helps students understand not only themselves but also the world in which they live,” states Mrs. Maria Lindsay. The greatest benefit of the program is the fact that “students are exposed to many great thinkers of the past in many different areas,” continues Mr. Brown. The head of the English department, Mr. Martin Holtgrieve, adds. “One of the greatest benefits of our program is its organization.” Most of the teachers feel that the program is set up so that all the materials are constantly being evaluated in order to keep the program up to date. All of the teachers seem to find it an enjoyable course to teach as long as the student wants to increase his knowledge. Most graduates who have been through the six semester Edsel English Humanities program praise it because of the way it prepared them for college. TOP: Mr. Holtgrieve gives constructive criticism.
