Ninth Grade
High school is a new world to
our ninth graders. They may feel overwhelmed with their new lives as
high school students. That is why it is important for these students
to have structure and organization in their lives.
Global studies is a two
year course, designed to take students from ancient origins of man
to present day world affairs. In ninth grade we begin our study with
world geography and human origin and progress to the age of
exploration. By the end of ninth grade students should be proficient
in these studies |
Tenth Grade
Tenth graders now have the experience
of what it is like to be a high school student. Tenth grade is a
benchmark year with the culmination of global studies with a regents
exam.
In tenth
grade students are beginning the second leg of global studies. We
begin the course with a brief ninth grade review, then
progress through the Enlightenment period, French Revolution and
onward to present world affairs. At the end of tenth grade students
are expected to display their knowledge through a regents
exam. The global studies and geography exam is the tougher of
two social studies exams for the reason that is covers two
years of materials. REGENTS REVIEW WILL BE PROVIDED TENTH PERIOD
DURING FOURTH QUARTER ATTENDANCE IS ADVISED.
