Students enjoyed researching events in the past that had effects on their lives today. I really like World History because I learn a lot of new, interesting things about the world and its people, said freshman Nichelle McDaniel, like how the Islamic women can ' t go out alone and have to keep their faces covered when they do go out. As a requirement, 10th graders took Planning and Guidance, where they explored decision making and career choices by doing exercises, role playing, taking personality and COPS tests, as well as participating in group discussions, having egg babies, and filling in workbooks. Choices for girls and Challenges for guys had sophomores writing a journal of what it would be like to have a baby for a week; predicting what they would be doing at ages 25, 35, and 50; and making out budgets according to the career they planned to be in. Relationships, Child Development, and Psychology helped students understand and learn more about human attitudes and actions. Senior Kenya Taylor said, There are things I learned in Relationships that I apply to real problems to help me solve them. Since it was only one semester, most followed Relationships with Child Development. Psychology was also a one semester class. The focus in French and Spanish classes was on learning how to speak a new language; however, in the process the cultures were studied also. Spanish classes studied it through films, such as El Norte, and sections at the end of each chapter called ISotas Hispanicas. Junior French III Student Amy Hinton said, Our French book has sections about how the French eat, what they eat, and what their society is like. More advanced French students read French novels which also gave them a chance to learn more about the French culture. A lip-synch to Greased Lightning is done by junior Paul Navarro in second period speech.
