Reading / Language Arts READING Students apply their knowledge of word origins to determine the meaning of new words encountered in reading materials and use those words accurately. identify and use the literal and figurative meanings of words and understand word derivations distinguish between the denotative and connotative meanings of words and interpret the connotative power of words Students read and understand grade-level-appropriate material, including a wide variety of classic and contemporary literature, magazines, newspapers, and online information (Focus on Informational Text). analyze the structure and format of functional workplace documents, including the graphics and headers and explain how authors use the features to achieve their purposes prepare a bibliography of reference materials for a report using a variety of consumer, workplace, and public documents generate relevant questions about readings on issues that can be researched synthesize the content from several sources or works by a single author dealing with a single issue; paraphrase the ideas and connect them to other sources and related topics to demonstrate comprehension demonstrate use of sophisticated learning tools by following technical directions critique the logic of functional documents by examining the sequence of information and procedures in anticipation of possible reader misunderstandings evaluate the credibility of an author’s argument or defense of a claim by critiquing the relationship between generalizations and evidence, the comprehensiveness of evidence, and the way in which the author’s intent affects the structure and tone of the text Students read and respond to historically or culturally significant works of literature that reflect and enhance their studies of history and social science. They conduct in-depth analyses of recurrent patterns and themes. compare and contrast the presentation of a similar theme or topic across genres to explain how the selection of genre shapes the theme or topic analyze interactions between main and subordinate characters in a literary text (e.g., internal and external conflicts, motivations, relationships, influences) and explain the way those interactions affect the plot compare works that express a universal theme, and provide evidence to support the ideas expressed in each work recognize and understand the significance of various literary devices, including figurative language, imagery, allegory, and symbolism, and explain their appeal evaluate the aesthetic qualities of style, including the impact of diction and figurative language on tone, mood, and theme, using the terminology of literary criticism analyze the way in which a work of literature is related to the themes and issues of its historical period WRITTEN & ORAL ENGLISH LANGAUAGE CONVENTIONS Students write and speak with a command of standard English conventions. identify and correctly use clauses (e.g., main and subordinate), phrases (e.g., gerund, infinitive, and participial), and mechanics of punctuation (e.g., semi-colons, colons, ellipses, hyphens) understand sentence construction (e.g., parallel structure, subordination, proper placement of modifiers) and proper English usage demonstrate an understanding of proper English usage and control of grammar, paragraph and sentence structure, diction, and syntax produce legible work that shows accurate spelling and correct use of the conventions of punctuation and capitalization WRITING Students write coherent and focused essays that convey a well-defined perspective and tightly-reasoned argument. establish a controlling impression or coherent thesis that conveys a clear and distinctive perspective on the subject and maintain a consistent tone and focus throughout the piece of writing use precise language, action verbs, sensory details, appropriate modifiers, and the active rather than the passive voice use clear research questions and suitable research methods (e.g., library, electronic media, personal interview) to elicit and present evidence from primary and secondary sources develop the main ideas within the body of the composition through supportive evidence synthesize information from multiple sources and identify complexities and discrepancies in the information and the different perspectives found in each medium use appropriate conventions for documentation in the text, notes, and bibliographies by adhering to those in style manuals revise writing to improve the logic and coherence of the organization and controlling perspective, the precision of word choice, and the tone by taking into consideration the audience, purpose, and formality of the context. Students combine the rhetorical strategies of narration, exposition, persuasion, and description to produce texts of at least 1,500 words each. Genres include: biographies, autobiographies or narratives responses to literature analytical essays and research reports persuasive compositions business letters and technical documents

Geometry Geometry Students demonstrate understanding by identifying and giving examples of undefined terms, axioms, theorems, and inductive and deductive reasoning. Students write geometric proofs, including proofs by contradiction. Students construct and judge the validity of a logical argument and give counterexamples to disprove a statement. Students prove basic theorems involving congruence and similarity. Students prove that triangles are congruent or similar, and they are able to use the concept of corresponding parts of congruent triangles. Students prove and use theorems involving the properties of parallel lines cut by a transversal, the properties of quadrilaterals, and the properties of circles. Students know, derive, and solve problems involving perimeter, circumference, area, volume, lateral area, and surface area of common geometric figures. Students compute the volumes and surface areas of prisms, pyramids, cylinders, cones, and spheres; and students commit to memory the formulas for prisms, pyramids, and cylinders. Students compute areas of polygons, including rectangles, scalene triangles, equilateral triangles, rhombi, parallelograms, and trapezoids. Students find and use measures of sides and of interior and exterior angles of triangles and polygons to classify figures and solve problems. Students prove the Pythagorean theorem. Students perform basic constructions with a straightedge and compass, such as angle bisectors, perpendicular bisectors, and the line parallel to a given line through a point off the line. Students prove theorems by using coordinate geometry, including the midpoint of a line segment, the distance formula, and various forms of equations of lines and circles. Students know the definitions of the basic trigonometric functions defined by the angles of a right triangle. They also know and are able to use elementary relationships between them. For example, tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x), (sin (x))^2 + (cos (x))^2 = 1. Students use trigonometric functions to solve for an unknown length of a side of a right triangle, given an angle and a length of a side. Students prove and solve problems regarding relationships among chords, secants, tangents, inscribed angles, and inscribed and circumscribed polygons of circles. Students know the effect of rigid motions on figures in the coordinate plane and space, including rotations, translations, and reflections.

History ~ World History: The Modern World Students in grade ten study major turning points that shaped the modern world, from the late eighteenth century through the present, including the cause and course of the two world wars. They trace the rise of democratic ideas and develop an understanding of the historical roots of current world issues, especially as they pertain to international relations. They extrapolate from the American experience that democratic ideals are often achieved at a high price, remain vulnerable, and are not practiced everywhere in the world. Students develop an understanding of current world issues and relate them to their historical, geographic, political, economic, and cultural contexts. Students consider multiple accounts of events in order to understand international relations from a variety of perspectives.

Science ~ Life Sciences Cell Biology 1. All living organisms are composed of cells, from just one to many trillions, whose details usually are visible only through a microscope. o Students know that mitochondria liberate energy for the work that cells do and that chloroplasts capture sunlight energy for photosynthesis. 2. Principles of chemistry underlie the functioning of biological systems. 3. The fundamental life processes of plants and animals depend on a variety of chemical reactions that occur in specialized areas of the organism’s cells. o Students know how prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells (including those from plants and animals), and viruses differ in complexity and general structure. Genetics 1. A typical cell of any organism contains genetic instructions that specify its traits. Those traits may be modified by environmental influences. 2. Mutation and sexual reproduction lead to genetic variation in a population. 3. A multicellular organism develops from a single zygote, and its phenotype depends on its genotype, which is established at fertilization. o Students know how to predict the probable outcome of phenotypes in a genetic cross from the genotypes of the parents and mode of inheritance (autosomal or X-linked, dominant or recessive). 4. The genetic composition of cells can be altered by incorporation of exogenous DNA into the cells. o Students know the general structures and functions of DNA, RNA, and protein. Ecology 1. Organisms in ecosystems exchange energy and nutrients among themselves and with the environment. o Students know the number and types of organisms an ecosystem can support depends on the resources available and on abiotic factors, such as quantities of light and water, a range of temperatures, and soil composition. 2. Stability in an ecosystem is a balance between competing effects. o Students know how water, carbon, and nitrogen cycle between abiotic resources and organic matter in the ecosystem and how oxygen cycles through photosynthesis and respiration. Evolution 1. Biological evolution accounts for the diversity of species developed through gradual processes over many generations. 2. The frequency of an allele in a gene pool of a population depends on many factors and may be stable or unstable over time. 3. Evolution is the result of genetic changes that occur in constantly changing environments. o Students know how to analyze fossil evidence with regard to biological diversity, episodic speciation, and mass extinction. Physiology 1. The anatomy and physiology of plants and animals illustrate the complementary nature of structure and function. 2. Physical principles underlie biological structures and functions. 3. As a result of the coordinated structures and functions of organ systems, the internal environment of the human body remains relatively stable (homeostatic) despite changes in the outside environment. o Students know how the complementary activity of major body systems provides cells with oxygen and nutrients and removes toxic waste products such as carbon dioxide. 4. Organisms have a variety of mechanisms to combat disease. Investigation & Experimentation 1. Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions and conducting careful investigations. As a basis for understanding this concept and addressing the content in the other strands, students should develop their own questions and perform investigations.
