Science 11 - AP Biology
Course Description
AP Biology is a year long introductory college-level biology course. The goal of this course is to not only give
students a college-level experience, but also to prepare students for the AP Biology exam in May.
The course content is structured around four Big Ideas and seven Science Practices:
Big Ideas (BI)
● Evolution ● Energy Processes ● Information ● Interactions
Science Practices (SP) 1. The student can use representations and models to communicate scientific phenomena and solve scientific problems. 2. The student can use mathematics appropriately. 3. The student can engage in scientific questioning to extend thinking or to guide investigations within the context of the AP course. 4. The student can plan and implement data collection strategies appropriate to a particular scientific question. 5. The student can perform data analysis and evaluation of evidence. 6. The student can work with scientific explanations and theories. 7. The student is able to connect and relate knowledge across various scales, concepts and representations in and across domains.
These ideas encompass the core principles and theories of all living systems that serve as the foundation of life. With the new updates to the exam, students will focus on depth of knowledge and understanding, rather than breadth. To be successful on the exam, students will be expected to apply content knowledge by demonstrating the seven science practices, which are skill-based in nature. In other words, they will have to show what they know by doing. AP biology is no longer about memorization of facts and figures, but rather the application of content through critical thinking and skill.
Students will have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of these core ideas and principles of biology through inquiry-based investigations. To master the concepts, students will learn through modes of: labs, activities, video lectures, current event articles, and scientific journals. Students will then be assessed in their understanding through lab reports, quizzes, tests, and projects.

History 10 - AP World History History 10 - AP World History Course Description:
Advanced Placement World History is an introductory college-level course examining significant aspects of the
history of the World from earliest archeological indications to the present. The primary purpose of the class is to
prepare to take the AP exam administered by the College Board in May. Students who earn a 3 or better may be
entitled to college credit, advanced placement in college, or both, depending on the individual policies of the
PEACHTREE HIGH SCHOOL PATHWAYS Course Descriptions, Scope and Sequences, and Pacing Guides
71
university. It should be understood at the outset that the class reflects a college-level curriculum and as a result is
significantly more challenging than regular courses in World History and will require outside preparation and
independent learning. Students use a college-level text, primary and secondary sources and a variety of learning
resources and approaches in the course of study.
Course Rational:
Studying the history of the world is one of the most worthwhile and beneficial activities in subject studies.
Rehearsing the story of people and nations helps students appreciate how and why nations and peoples rose to
prominence and fell into obscurity as well as the cycles and patterns of creativity and growth, complacency and
decline, recovery and restoration the nations experienced. They may grow to respect the individuals and people
groups who helped bring humanity where it stands today. People who do not know history tend against perspective
on where their lives fit into the human story and therefore struggle to value the need to contribute to human
flourishing and cultivate those good things that define the life of their nation. The study makes efforts to “own” the
many mistakes that accompany the growing pains of nations while considering lessons of sacrifice, courage,
wisdom, and persistence. The logic of the study is to identify influences and traditions to establish perspectives on
actions and decisions that have driven the history of the world. The study also considers various national histories as
they affect each other along with the impacts of geography, economics, ideology, politics, technology, imperialism
and race on the course of human progress and conflict and the wisdom of applying the knowledge of history to other
situations as a catalyst toward understanding the story of human history.

History 11 - Honors US History
Course Description:
The United States of America is one of the greatest nations in the history of the world. Rehearsing the national story
helps students appreciate how and why the nation was established, understand the cycles and patterns of creativity
and growth, complacency and decline, recovery and restoration the nation has experienced and respect the
individuals and people groups who helped make it great. Citizens who do not know the national history tend not to
know where their lives fit into the story and therefore struggle to see the need to contribute to those good things that
define the life of the nation. The study helps the students both to “own” the mistakes made by the nation and
appreciate the lessons of sacrifice, courage, wisdom, and persistence that made her great. The logic of the study is
to identify influences and traditions that have driven the national life. The study also considers other national histories
as they affected American history, the impacts of geography, economics, ideology, politics, technology, imperialism
and race on the course of national progress and conflict and the wisdom of applying the knowledge of history to
other situations as a way to understanding them. The purpose of this course is to systematically study and
understand the history of the United States so students can appreciate the cultural heritage of the US.

Course Description:
Advanced Placement United States History is an introductory college-level course examining significant aspects of
the history of the United States from the Pre-Columbian period to the present. The primary purpose of the class is to
prepare to take the AP exam administered by the College Board in May. Students who earn a 3 or better may be
entitled to college credit, advanced placement in college, or both, depending on the individual policies of the
university. It should be understood at the outset that the class reflects a college-level curriculum and as a result is
significantly more challenging than regular courses in US History and will require outside preparation and
independent learning. Students use a college-level text, primary and secondary sources and a variety of learning
resources and approaches in the course of study.
Course Rationale:
The United States of America is one of the greatest nations in the history of the world. Rehearsing the national story
helps students appreciate how and why the nation was established, understand the cycles and patterns of creativity
and growth, complacency and decline, recovery and restoration the nation has experienced and respect the
individuals and people groups who helped make it great. Citizens who do not know the national history tend against
perspective on where their lives fit into the story and therefore struggle to value the need to contribute to human
flourishing and cultivate those good things that define the life of the nation. The study makes efforts to “own” the
many mistakes that accompany the growing pains of a nation while considering lessons of sacrifice, courage,
wisdom, and persistence. The logic of the study is to use identified influences of Enlightenment thinking and religious
traditions to establish perspectives on actions and decisions that have driven the national life. The study also
considers other national histories as they affected American history, the impacts of geography, economics, ideology,
politics, technology, imperialism and race on the course of national progress and conflict and the wisdom of applying
the knowledge of history to other situations as a catalyst toward understanding them.

Course Description:
The express purpose of this one semester course is to prepare students to take the AP Exam for U.S Government
and Politics. Students who earn a 3 or better may be entitled to college credit, advanced placement in college, or
both, depending on the individual policies of the university. It should be understood at the outset that the class
reflects a college-level curriculum and as a result is significantly more challenging than regular courses in American
Government and will require outside preparation and independent learning. It requires a substantial amount of
reading and preparation for every class as it is taught as it would be in college. The objectives of this course go
beyond a basic analysis of how the US government “works.” Students will do this by developing a critical
understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the American political system, as well as their rights and
responsibilities as citizens. Students are responsible for keeping up with events in the news. Current events provide
concrete connections for each lesson. Students will be asked to think critically and look at topics in American

of learning resources and approaches in the course of study.

Authenticity and working together as an ensemble. Add more difficult and lengthy games and warm-ups as the group progresses. Introduce more characters, emotions, voices and games as needed. Participation grades for Improv, Yes, and… games. Define stage directions according to how the Ancient Greeks and early theatre defined them. Conduct cold readings and use characterization and emotion to expand the range of actors. Conduct exercises to show the ranges and methods used to achieve realistic performances on stage. Select several passages are picked to rehearse and perform as memorized pieces. The class will choose a performance piece to perform for the final project from several pieces. Auditions: Selecting an audition monologue and memorizing it to perform for the purpose of getting a role in the performance piece chosen and reading from the script of the piece chosen with one or more partners reading different characters.
After parts are chosen by the instructor, there will be a read-through of the entire piece with each person reading the part of the character they were given. The play will be blocked (each character's’ entrance, movements on stage and exits are marked and rehearsed) at the beginning of the rehearsal period. Before each rehearsal, the cast and crew will do warm-ups. The piece will be broken into smaller rehearsal sections and worked on until they can be combined with other sections to make up a larger scene, and then eventually an entire act and then the whole performance. Characters will be given backstories, and developed on stage during the rehearsals. Outside work will need to be done to develop the characters authentically when not rehearsing. Props, costumes and set design (including lighting and sound design) will be ongoing throughout the rehearsal period. Before the performance date, several dress rehearsals (with characters wearing costumes, running lights and sound and using props) will be conducted. Performance night(s) will have required ‘call times’ for all backstage crew and actors. The cast will do warmups and head backstage to check props, get into costumes and prepare for the performance. After the performance, the set and costumes and props will be taken down and returned to the property department or other person.
