Class Schedule
World History is a survey course about people, civilizations, events, and issues from prehistory (before written records) to present. Studying world history helps us understand how the past connects with your life right now! Students will learn how to use a variety of sources so that they can form independent educated understandings about the subject. Students will learn how to become better note-takers as well as readers of history. At times, students will work collaboratively to unlock the “mysteries” of the past.
All English classes involve reading, whereas students read and understand a wide variety of literary and information texts; writing, whereas students compose a variety of written texts with a clear controlling idea, coherent organization, proper grammar, and sufficient detail; research where students are expected to know how to locate a range of relevant sources; and improving oral use of the English language.
​
Students will be required to read several excerpts of novels, personal novels, and informational articles during the year which will require students to complete a readers log and related assignments. These readers response logs are an integral part of responding to reading and increasing ability. The pacing of some classes may vary dependent on reading levels of students.
​
Students are always encouraged to read at home!
RTI and Enrichment sessions are opportuntinties to hone reading, grammar, and writing skills in order to better reach academic goals. These goals may be to accelerate the learner to on level performance or prepare the student for post graduation studies.
