A Message from Mrs. Michelson
This course is designed to prepare students for the rigors of college. I have planned a program that integrates critical reading, viewing, inquiry, collaboration, writing and research. The skills required in this course parallel those identified as central to academic success in undergraduate college and university classrooms. These include:
ü Selective and critical reading of different types of text to answer questions or solve problems.
ü Summary and critical analysis of the arguments in texts.
ü Careful, focused, and purposeful note taking.
ü Summary, paraphrase, analysis, and synthesis of several sources.
ü Mature integration of sources into text, avoiding plagiarism.
ü Development of written arguments based upon evidence from text and other data.
Students will be working collaboratively to solve problems, write essays, and do research. We will be preparing for college entrance tests, college admission, and college readiness. Grades will be based on binder checks, tutorials, test prep, portfolios, presentations and research project
You will learn many secrets to success in this class—keep your ears perked, your mind sharp and your heart open and you will experience loads of success!
