English 8B
Credit Recovery Course Overview:
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 assessments in each unit that are worth 40% of the overall grade. Students must complete all unit assessments to pass the course.
Course Description:
This is the second semester of a two semester English 8 course that aligns to the Idaho Core standards. The course is focused on responding to change, beginning with a look at the literary genre of drama while reading the play Trifles. Students will study how to understand and write strong arguments, structuring their writing around the claim and counterclaim. Students will have the option to select one of three novels to read and consider what it means to be free.Throughout the course, students will investigate questions such as, What is the purpose of drama?, What is my responsibility as a citizen of the world?, How do I form my own opinions in the midst of so much information?, How does literature help me to better understand how to deal with change in my life?, and How do I defend my opinion against other opinions?
