12th grade teaching tips

Grade 12 standards in reading focus on college and career readiness. This includes acquiring the skills needed to make inferences about informational texts, particularly where the text presents information that might lead to uncertain conclusions about its meaning (a valuable skill for both career and college applications). Additionally, twelfth-grade readers must be able to critically analyze how characters develop over the course of a literary work. The following reading comprehension tips will help students develop these skills. Use these tips on top of weekly practice using reading comprehension worksheets.

Guided Tour of Making Inferences

Making inferences about an author’s intent can be difficult, so guided tours of readings are a great tool to use. Provide students with a passage from a piece of literature in which you’ve underlined various sentences. Work with readers as a group to discuss each underlined section, reviewing what the author wrote and then asking students to guess what the author might have meant in each underlined sentence. This activity can be amended to examining underlined words. Doing so simplifies the process and helps struggling readers practice vocabulary skills and inferential skills.

Using Adjectives to Explore Character Development

When reading literature, have students list adjectives that describe a character as they read. Students maintain their list over the course of their reading, and when the novel is completed, they can review the adjectives they’ve listed to see how the character has changed. To enhance this activity, ask readers to infer why the author chose to have the character change the way they did.

Connect Reading to Careers

To prepare students for careers after high school, find ways to connect their readings to potential careers. For example, students that are interested in becoming a tradesperson might be encouraged to read technical manuals related to their particular trade of interest. Exposing students to career-related materials can help build career-related skills and understanding while also providing them with practice in reading highly specific texts in an area of interest to them.

Sloan and Cherry are the only survivors of a summer camp massacre. Desperate to understand what happened and why they dig for clues. But the discovery of important new evidence detonates everything Sloan believed about that fateful day. Suddenly, she doesn’t know who to trust. With a savage plot twist and page-turning tension, this modern psychological mystery LGBT horror is unputdownable.

College Prep & College Essay prepare and support the development of our students’ global perspective. The seniors meet one to three times per week with their counselors and faculty advisors, which might include a senior seminar designed to have students experience college-level work. In the college bound classes the students prepare to take the SAT and/or ACT tests; they send out college and scholarship applications, gather recommendations and compile all necessary documents for financial aid. In the fall semester of the senior year, students work on financial aid packets, personal essays as part of their application process and prepare for the transition to college life.

This course also includes internship where students demonstrate their commitment to the community by volunteering at the internship site for 100 hours.  

Research & Statistics

In Research and Statistics data are gathered, displayed, summarized, examined, and interpreted to discover patterns and deviations to compare which plots to use and what the results of a comparison might mean depending on the question to be investigated and the real-life actions to be taken. We will critically review uses of statistics in public media and other reports. Technology will play an important role in Research and Statistics by making it possible to generate plots, regression functions and correlation coefficients, and to simulate many possible outcomes in a short amount of time.  

Government & Economics

In this course, students apply knowledge gained in previous years of study to pursue a deeper understanding of the institutions of American Government. They draw on their studies of Global history, American history and geography to compare differences and similarities in world governmental systems today. This course is the culmination of history/social sciences classes to prepare students to solve society's problems, to understand and to participate in the governmental process, and to be a responsible citizen of the United States and the world. Students will also master fundamental economic concepts, appreciate how the principal concepts of economics relate to each other and understand the structure of economic systems. Students will use economic concepts in a reasoned, careful manner in dealing with personal, community, national and global economic issues.  

Our Physics course will follow the NYS core standard which includes the following units: Analysis, Inquiry, and Design; Scientific Inquiry; Engineering Design; Information Systems; Interdisciplinary Problem Solving; Mechanics and Measurement, Energy; Electricity and Magnetism; Waves; and Modern Physic. We will also foster an appreciation of the major developments that significantly contributed to advancements in the field of the Physical world. We are going to work on how the laws of physics apply from the subatomic through the cosmic levels, an idea whose development can be traced through the history of the science. The contributions of Democritus, Galileo, Kepler, Newton, Faraday, Maxwell, Planck, Curie, Hubble, Einstein, Heisenberg, Schrödinger, Feynman, Bardeen, Brattain, and Shockley provide insights to pivotal moments in our field. The physics of today is based upon the achievements of the past.
