Special projects credits are designed to recognize work undertaken by students on an individual or small group basis and should not be used as a means of offering credits for unapproved courses. Students may enroll in Special Projects 10, 20 or 30. Special Projects 20 and Special Projects 30 do not have prerequisites.
PURPOSE
Special projects credits perform two major
functions:
• Students become involved in the selection,
planning and organization of their own
programs.
• Students pursue activities in which they have
considerable interest or ability but which are
not within the scope of the regular curriculum
or the programs being offered in the school.
English 20-2
The senior high school English language arts program highlights six language arts—listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing and representing.
Five general outcomes are the foundation of the program. Students will speak, read, write, view and represent to:
· Explore thoughts, ideas, feelings and experiences
· Comprehend literature and other texts in oral, print, visual and multimedia forms, and respond personally, critically and creatively
· Manage ideas and information
· Create oral, print, visual, and multimedia texts, and enhance clarity and artistry of communication
· Respect, support and collaborate with others
In Social Studies 10-1, students will explore multiple perspectives on the origins of globalization and the local, national, and international impacts of globalization on lands, cultures, economies, human rights, and quality of life. Students will examine the relationship between globalization, citizenship, and identity to enhance skills for citizenship in a globalizing world.
