COURSE SELECTION

• What courses should I take?

• What courses were recommended by my current teachers?
• Am I challenging myself appropriately?
• What type of diploma am I working towards?
• Will I be overwhelmed considering my activities and schoolwork?

SHOULD I TAKE HONORS COURSES?

Questions to ask yourself:

• What kind of student am I?
• Do I have strong organizational skills, strong study habits, and the desire to

devote extra time to my courses?

• Am I thinking about AP courses in the future?

SHOULD I TAKE HONORS COURSES?

Honors courses generally offer students:

• Greater emphasis on analysis
• Analytical skill development

“ ”

English 9 Honors requires a real time commitment for homework completion (mostly reading) on the parts of the kids. We’re talking at least 15-30 minutes PER NIGHT (not just class night) and, if the kid procrastinates, that time keeps building on itself, making a real

• bstacle for some students. Some bright kids who didn’t have to

work very hard to do well in English 8 Honors quickly feel

• verwhelmed when they let a few assignments slip and their

grades (and often their ability to keep up in class) suffer noticeably because of it.

TEACHER ADVICE: ENGLISH HONORS

“ ”

The Honors courses have extended topics that are not covered in the Regular courses (about 15% of the curriculum for each subject). For example, if you took Regular Algebra 1, they missed 15% of the Honors Algebra 1 course that they will be expected to know in Honors Geometry. If you took Regular Algebra 1 and Geometry and now decide to take Honors Algebra 2, they have missed 15% of the curriculum from two courses (30% total) that their classmates who took all Honors courses had.
