ENGLISH 10

1 credit Grade 10

English 10 will focus on reading, writing, and inquiry

standards of achievement, as outlined by the Tenth Grade

Language Arts Core. Quoting from this Core, “Reading

instruction focuses on electronic text, using explicit and

implicit information to evaluate informational text; on the

ways in which character development and connections to

politics, history, and culture contribute to great literature;

and on more complex figurative language, including simile,

metaphor, pun, symbolism and personification. Writing

focuses on analysis and interpretation of multiple ideas and

perspectives to extend thinking through writing. Persuasive

writing is a continued emphasis in preparation for the Utah

Basic Skills Test. Skills in analytical evaluation and

assessment of writing are further nuanced, and editing skills

are specific and clearly delineated. Inquiry skills are focused

on synthesizing information in preparation for presenting

research results.” A vocabulary and usage review will also

follow the guidelines of the Tenth Grade Language Arts

with a variety of texts. Writing moves to analysis and

interpretation of multiple ideas and perspectives to extend

thinking and demands synthesizing of ideas to form

conclusions and recommend actions. Analytical evaluation

and assessment of writing are further nuanced, and editing

skills are more sophisticated and specifically and clearly

delineated. Inquiry skills are focused on synthesizing

information in preparation for presenting research results.”

works. Writing to learn emphasizes cause and effect,

analysis and refutation of opposing opinions, and important

text connections. Revision and editing in written work are

APPLIED/ADVANCED

MATH CORE

$4 Fee For All Math Classes

Please give special attention to the prerequisites listed for

the class in which you intend to enroll next year. All math

courses have prerequisites that need to be satisfied before a

student enrolls in a class. The nature of math requires

students to master basic concepts from prerequisite courses

in order to succeed in the next course. Consequently, we

highly recommend that students retake a course, when

necessary, in order for the student to have the proper tools

for success before moving on to the next level of math.

Once a student passes a math class, that class cannot be

retaken for math credit. It can, however, be retaken for

elective credit.

If you do not meet the prerequisite requirements for a class

that you would like to take, you may still be able to sign up

for the class if you have approval from the teacher.
