honors stem composition/literature 10

Students in STEM Comp/Lit 10 will experience English Language Arts (ELA) through the concept of Perception through the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematical (STEM) lens. Since this course leverages the CHS Problem Solving Process, students have a direct impact on the direction of the course through concept exploration, curiosity, and specific expected outcomes. More of the texts that we read are nonfiction and incorporate science and social studies concepts. The course begins by reading The Wave and corresponding texts to develop an understanding of group thinking and peer pressure. We develop deep revision strategies and practices for our academic and narrative writing outcomes. Our major text for the course is All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doer. Students research key concepts before, during, and after reading the text. Independent reading, chosen by the student, is a requirement throughout the course.
