English 10B

Credit recovery courses include a daily attendance requirement in addition to asynchronous instruction to provide students with a high level of learning. IDLA will provide the course content, Learning Management System, teachers, and internal support staff.  Districts will provide local personnel to support the students with intervention support, social-emotional support, physical and/or virtual technical access to courses, and transcription of credits.

 

Lessons include graded learning activities integrated within the content and are worth 60% of the overall grade.  Certified teachers check in on students frequently and attendance is recorded when a student logs in and completes some work each day.  There is no high-stakes final exam; just shorter incremental exams in each unit that are worth 40% of the overall grade.  Students must complete all exams to pass the course.

Course Description:
This course focuses mostly on nonfiction readings such as autobiographies, letters, seminal US documents as well as some fiction. Students will be reading To Kill A Mockingbird, which is more of a historical fiction piece the way it weaves in actual events during that time period. The writing assignments throughout this course focus mostly on analysis skills through both informative and persuasive writing. The students will learn how to write analysis essays for other academic disciplines. View Full Syllabus
