The third hour might be centered around social science, or it could include a video, a trip to a local site, such as Sutter's Fort, and writing activities. After lunch, a student might read some science-related materials and perhaps work on a project. A field trip to a site, such as Folsom Dam, to study hydro-electric generation would also be appropriate. A student working on a government class may visit the State Capitol and view a legislative session. Part of the day would also include physical activities and perhaps art or music.
Writing is included in all of the core subjects.
High-risk students may work during the day and be unable to attend the traditional high school term and daily schedule. Their study day might begin in the evening or on weekends. Some of these students have failed classes during the last one or two semesters and desperately wish to graduate. Enrolling in Visions affords students the opportunity to earn credits toward graduation in subject areas where they may have formerly failed. Visions allows students to work on a few subjects at a time rather than five or six subjects offered in a traditional high school day.
