encourage comprehensive study of the types of literature. The following
list shows the units and sections within each unit.
The Short Story: Plot, Character,
Point of View, Setting, and Theme

including a Shakespearean Play
Nonfiction: Biographies and Personal
Accounts, Types of Essays, and Essays in the Arts and Sciences

Features at the end of the selection
are designed to foster comprehension and encourage constructive
response, either personal or literary. The study questions are built
upon four levels of comprehension: the personal response, the literal,
the interpretive, and the applied. These features encourage the growth
of skills needed by students to become independent readers.
Each unit ends with two complete
writing lessons. Each lesson focuses on a form of writing and guides
students through the writing process.
Algebra 1/2
Algebra 1/2
is
made up of five instructional components: Introduction of the New
Increment,
Examples with Complete Solutions, Practice of the Increment, Daily
Problem
Set, and Cumulative Tests. Algebra 1/2 covers all topics normally
taught
in pre-algebra, as well as additional topics from geometry and discrete
mathematics.
It is recommended for seventh-graders who plan to take first-year
algebra in the eighth grade, and for eighth-graders who plan to take
first-year algebra
in the ninth grade. Algebra 1/2 represents the culmination of the
study
of pre-algebra mathematics.
Algebra
1
Algebra 1 is
made up of five instructional components: Introduction of the New
Increment,
Examples with Complete Solutions, Practice of the Increment, Daily
Problem
Set, and Cumulative Tests. Algebra 1 covers topics
typically
treated in a first-year algebra course.

Physical
science
Students that have already taken Physical Science in
8th grade do not need
to take it in 9th.
This module offers a deep study
of physical science with modern theories and applications into
our
real industry. The concepts and principles that students have learnt so
far are being applied to explore the tremendous variety of industrial
and
economic benefits of our days. Students will advance deeper into
properties
of matter, motions and forces, conservation of energy, waves, nuclear
processes,
nuclear and fossil fuels, sound waves, electricity, magnetism.
Students conduct
field and laboratory investigations, use scientific methods during
investigations,
and make informed decisions using critical-thinking and scientific
problem-solving.
Students in Biology study a variety of topics that include: structures
and
functions of cells and viruses; growth and development of organisms;
cells,
tissues, and organs; nucleic acids and genetics; biological evolution;
taxonomy;
metabolism and energy transfers in living organisms; living systems;
homeostasis; ecosystems; and plants and the environment.
