10th Grade Courses
English 10 (EES83-EES84)
Many of the themes explored in ninth grade are revisited from other perspectives in the sophomore year. The focus shifts from the impact our relationships, cultures, and societies have on us to how we can exert our influence on others. Through research, debate, and personal experience, students learn about the difference an individual can make in his or her community. Literary texts such as Night, The Crucible, Fahrenheit 451, and The Secret Life of Bees are used to illustrate and explore the influence a single person can wield on others. Students will continue to refine their written and verbal communications skills through performance tasks requiring public presentation, collaboration, and research.
The links below contain the essential and guiding questions, culminating performance task, and NYS Common Core Learning Standards alignment for each unit:
