Emphasis is placed on vocabulary, organization, and writing which in grades 9 and 10 will be limited to persuasive writing and essay exercises. Grades 11 and 12 will be introduced to the research process. Use of technology by the student is expected.
Some outside research is required.
Traditional assessments including quizzes and tests, along with alternate assessment techniques will be used to evaluate student learning.
