English I TimeTechnologyTechniques On Level minutes of vocab. practice and completing any work not completed in class. This class uses technology often. Internet and computer access are helpful but not necessary to complete school work at home. PAP 1 to 2 hours per week. Heavy workloads with projects/essays: in-class time is given, but homework may be required as well. Internet is necessary at homeSome English I classes use the standard based grading model and the Active Grade gradebook. GT/Global Studies min. per weekWe are a digital classroom, so most assignments are created and submitted digitally through Google Classroom. Internet access is definitely beneficial to completing work outside of class, but when it is not an option I will work with those students to find solutions. I use the Standards Based Learning gradebook Active Grade and assess students based on their learning and performance in the various skills of English I

English II TimeTechnologyTechniques On Level minutes per weekYes, Internet is necessary unless they can complete online assignments and Membean before/after school in the library. PAP 3-5 hours plus Membean practice; Heavier during novel study Google Classroom and Membean are both used regularly. Computer access at home is recommended. GT/ World Studies 1 ½ - 2 hours per weekThis is a digital class meaning we will be using technology for vocabulary development, turning in assignments and completing projects. It is helpful to have access to a computer at home. This classroom does two Project Based Learning Assignments. The fall project is done mostly in the classroom and is entirely the student's choice of topics. The spring project is a community based project with a research element combined.

English III TimeTechnologyTechniques On Level Approximately 2 hours a week outside of class on average. The classrooms are all digital and use technology. While internet access is not necessary, it is helpful. -Project Based Learning -Standards Based Grading -Iindependent reading PAP No more than 1 to 2 hours per week. Our classes use technology nearly everyday. Internet access at home is not necessary for student success. -Standards based grading. -Collaborative work on projects AP 1-3 hours a week of homework which includes reading novels Technology is used regularly. Internet at home is not necessary for student success. GT/ American Studies Students should expect to have an average of 30 minutes per day outside of class. American Studies will be a digital classroom. All classwork will be conducted through online portals. -Project-based class. -Individual and teams. -A greater emphasis on research skills and processes.

TimeTechnologyTechniques On Level Approximately 1 hour per week outside of class The class is digital and computer access is recommended but not necessary for student success. AP/GT Approximately 2 hours per week. Sometimes it is more than this, and sometimes less. Internet access is required for Membean. Otherwise, the technology load is not heavy. The central focus of the class is reading literature, like novels and dramas, and writing college-level analytical essays. English IV
