Students focus on the development and revision of evidence-based analytic and argumentative writing, the rhetorical analysis of nonfiction texts, and the decisions writers make as they compose and revise. Students evaluate, synthesize, and cite research to support their arguments. Additionally, they read and analyze rhetorical elements and their effects in nonfiction texts—including images as forms […]
Learn MoreStudents who have had difficulty organizing and expressing themselves in written form will benefit from this elective course. Repeating the writing process as presented in their English classes, students will learn how to creatively write a variety of presentations that are descriptive, expository, and persuasive in nature. Students will also learn the rudiments of public […]
Learn MoreThis course will introduce students to the principles and skills of poetry and fiction writing. In the first quarter, we will work on refining our writing skills by focusing on writing poetry. In the second quarter, we will apply those skills to writing fiction, in particular, the short story. Throughout, we will focus on using […]
Learn MoreThis course will expose students to a variety of literary films, the process of filmmaking, film vocabulary, and the analysis of film as a work of literature. It will give students the necessary skills to analyze and critique film by applying literary and filmic standards. Students will produce critical and reflective essays, film reviews, critical […]
Learn MoreStudents study Geometry as a mathematical system through the deductive development of relationships in the plane and space developed intuitively in previous years. Course content includes congruent segments and angles, circle chords, secants and tangent segments, parallel and perpendicular lines, angle measure in triangles, direct and indirect triangle congruence and similarity, proofs, solids of revolution, […]

Learn MoreThis course is designed to provide students with a meaningful conceptual bridge between algebra and geometry to deepen their understanding of mathematics. Students are expected to use the mathematical knowledge and skills they have developed previously to problem solve across the domains of algebra and geometry. Course content focuses on training students to make connections […]
Learn MoreStudents extend and expand upon concepts and techniques learned in algebra and geometry including solving and graphing solutions to inequalities, equations, and systems of equations. In addition, students will learn about imaginary and complex numbers, conic sections, logarithms, functions, and operations with polynomial expressions. Graphing calculators are used to enhance the understanding of realistic applications […]
