My name is Frances Bolton and I'm teaching 10th grade ELA along with Ms. Duncan. This year, we will be exploring the question: How does literature allow us to see our personal lives and experiences as part of the larger human experience?

Classroom expectations:
Students, read, write and engage in discussion daily.

Grading policy:
60%: Student practice (classwork, homework, discussion)
20%: Short assessments
20%: End of the unit assessments

IMPORTANT NOTE: All classwork and homework for the week must be turned in by Friday. Students will have alternate ways of showing understanding, but those classwork and homework assignments will not be accepted.

Major units of study:
Unit One: This I Believe: A Study in Self-Expression
Unit Two: Memoir: Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah
Unit Three: Spoken Word Poetry (in conjunction with the Atlantic Theater Company)
Unit Four: Fairy Tales and Folktales: The Universality of Story
Unit Five: Dystopian Fiction and Our World
Unit Six: Book Groups

Atlantic Theater Company

Our school has the great honor this year to work with the Atlantic Theater Company (ATC). The ATC program, Staging Success, will bring actors into our 10th grade ELA classes to guide us in building ensembles that together will create and produce a theatrical performance.

This high school regents course focuses on the major principles of Chemistry. Together, we will study what matter is and the changes in matter. Throughout the year, we will discover what our world is made of, how it is put together, what happens when different parts of our world interact with each other, and why these things happen through various projects, labs, classwork, and assessments.

This course culminates in a State Regents exam on Friday, June 16th at 1:15 pm. Students must complete 25 labs (1200 minutes) in order to be allowed to sit for the Regents in June.

It is with pleasure that we, the math teachers, welcome you all to a new and exciting year at Park Slope Collegiate. This year, 10th graders are taking either Algebra II or Geometry. They will set high personal and academic goals for themselves and support each other as they work to achieve those goals.

Below are links to the course policy for Algebra II or Geometry in case you did not get a chance to see it. The grading scale can be found on the course policy. If you have any questions, feel free to email any of us, and we will respond as soon as possible.

Financial Algebra should help our students to develop a strong foundation in logical thinking and problem solving that will enable them to make informed decisions regarding matters of money and finance in their daily lives.

We will use mathematics to model and explore real-world financial phenomena including interpreting and justifying reasoning to make data-supported financial decisions.

Since the earliest civilizations, humans have created community through shared beliefs, rituals, behaviors, and aspects of daily life. Since the earliest civilizations, humans have also liked to have fun. It is then not surprising that people have been creating and playing board games from the time of the Ancient Egyptians to the present day. In this elective course, we will look at the design of board games. What makes a board game appealing, interesting, and community-building? What components do board games share, and how do they differ? We will learn and play a variety of board games, analyze their characteristics, and together create and play our own board games.

Just wanted to introduce myself - I'm Veronica Boyhan and I've been teaching mathematics since 1991. In addition to teaching, I also do the scheduling and testing for our school.  I'm excited to be teaching Geometry to our 10th grade students who completed Algebra II in the 9th grade.  I look forward to a great year with your children!

This course will examine history through films and how they discuss and reflect on the culture of their time periods. Students will then examine how well these films did at achieving this goal by analyzing the movies content and discussing the films successes and failures.
