English 7 CP/HEnglish 7 CP: This course is designed to focus on vocabulary development, literary analysis, reading comprehension writing for a purpose, and speaking and listening in accordance with the California State Standards for 7th grade.
English 7 H: This course is designed to focus on vocabulary development, literary analysis, reading comprehension, writing for a purpose, and speaking and listening in accordance with the California State Standards. English 7H standards are explored with greater depth and complexity to meet the learning needs of honors level students. *Prerequisite: A's both semesters in English 6 CP (all others interested in honors will need to petition) Math 7 CP/AcceleratedMath 7 CP: Students focus on four critical areas: (1) developing understanding of and applying proportional relationships; (2) developing understanding of operations with rational numbers and working with expressions and linear equations; (3) solving problems involving scale drawings and informal geometric constructions, and working with two- and three-dimensional shapes to solve problems involving area, surface area, and volume; and (4) drawing inferences about populations based on samples.
Math 7 Accelerated: Students will resume learning the Math 7CP standards not taught in Math 6 Advanced, specifically they will draw, construct and describe geometrical figures and describe the relationships between them; solve real-life and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, surface area, and volume; use random sampling to draw inferences about a population; draw informal comparative inferences about two populations and investigate chance processes and develop, use, and evaluate probability models. Then students will learn the Math 8CP standards listed below. At the end of this year students will be prepared to take Algebra Honors in the 8th grade. *Prerequisite: A's and B's both semesters in Math 6 Accelerated or A's and B's both semesters in Math 6 CP and a passing score on the District Math Boost Exam |
Social Science 7 CP/HSocial Science 7 CP: This course is structured to familiarize the student with world history and geography during both medieval and early modern times. The focus is on the rise of Empires from the Fall of Rome to the enlightenment in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Americas. Communication skills, map and globe studies, research, vocabulary enrichment, critical thinking, and interpretation of pictures, graphs and charts are emphasized.
Social Science 7 H: This course of study provides an advanced and enriched curriculum to qualified students. The course objectives will be met by fulfilling the California State Social Science Standards with an emphasis on critical thinking, creativity, and research. The course covers the social, political, economic, geographic, and religious influences of empires in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Americas. *Prerequisite: A's both semesters in Social Science 6 CP (all others interested in honors will need to petition) Life Science 7 CPLife Science 7 CP: This course is designed to introduce students to life science. The study of life science provides a knowledge base on which adolescents can make well-informed and wise decisions about their health and behavior. Students expand their knowledge of living systems to include the study of the structure and function of plants and animals, their similarities, differences and interdependence. The topics will be presented and developed through considerable reading, class discussion, laboratory exercises, use of the internet, research using texts and the internet, and the process of inquiry.
