COURSE DESCRIPTIONS LANGUAGE ARTS English 10F (ELA10F) (1 credit) All grade 9 students must take this course. Time is divided between the continuous development of reading, writing, listening, speaking and viewing and representing skills. Written skills include the process of logical and clear explanation and description, correct grammatical structure, expression and the defense of thought. Listening and oral skills are developed through discussion, and debate. Through the use of novels, short stories, drama and poetry, we examine problems and themes that apply to living in society. Students are encouraged to formulate and defend their own ideas which develop from the literature section of the course. English 20F (ENG20F) (1.5 credit) (Course includes credit for Print Communication 25S) All Grade 10 students must earn this credit to graduate. A variety of forms of text (short stories, novels, plays, film, poetry, articles) are used to help students develop both their analytical and creative skills. Terms related to language are studied in detail. Each student will produce a number of short assignments as well as an extensive development of a short story, a formal speech and an expository essay. English 30S Comprehensive (LAC30S) (1 credit) This course addresses pragmatic (functional) and aesthetic (creative) purposes and texts in an approximate balance. Student product will be approximately 50% pragmatic through exposition and analysis and 50% esthetic (creative) through creation and expression.
English 30S Transactional (LAT30S) (1 credit) The transactional focus uses text (materials) that are 70% pragmatic (functional) and 30% aesthetic (creative) with 100% of student output being pragmatic through explaining, analyzing, planning and presenting, informing and persuading. English 40S Transactional (ENG40S) (1 credit) The emphasis in this course is on the transactional (language used to inform, explain, analyze, present and persuade). A variety of texts and articles will be used associated with career planning, business, research, novel, drama, and debating. Learning outcomes are similar to the Grade 11 course. However, the course content, processes, and skills utilized reflect a higher level of expectations for Grade 12 students. As well, students must write a Provincial Exam which comprises 30% of their final mark. *A skills portfolio must also be completed. English 40S Comprehensive (ENG40S) (1 credit) English Language Arts: Comprehensive Focus The direction and content of this course is similar to that of the Grade 11 course.

SCIENCE Sciences de la Nature 10F (SCN10F) (1 credit) / Science 10F (SCI10F) (1 credit) Le programme des sciences naturelles de Secondaire 1 présente un ensemble de thèmes et de concepts dans le domaine de la biologie, de la physique, de la chimie, et de la science de l’espace. Certains de ces concepts seront étudiés en profondeur, mais les concepts scientifiques plus complexes seront l’objet d’études spécialisées au niveau secondaire. Un des buts principaux de l’étude des sciences naturelles au niveau pré- sécondaire est d’entreprendre des études plus avancées au niveau secondaire. Le programme des sciences de la nature est basé sur l’éxpérience. Il doit tenir compte non seulement du “quoi” mais aussi du “comment” dans l’enseignement des sciences. C’est aussi un programme qui passera donc des notions relativement simples à des notions plus complexes, du concret à l’abstrait. Ce cours est divisé en 4 unités: 1. Chimie – les atomes et les éléments et l’étude du tableau périodique 2. Physique – la nature de l’éléctrostatique 3. Biologie – la reproduction et la génétique 4. L’Espace – l’exporation de l’Univers The students will be introduced to biology, physics, chemistry and space sciences. The program is based on experiments and experience. Students must see not only the “what” but also the “how”. The program passes from relatively simple concepts to those which are more complex, from the concrete to the abstract. This course is divided into 4 units: 1. Chemistry – atoms, elements and the study of the periodic table 2. Physics – the nature of electricity and electrostatics 3. Biology- reproduction and genetics 4. Space – exploration of the universe

SOCIAL STUDIES Social Studies 10F (SOC10F) (1 credit) In Grade 9 Social Studies, we focus on Canada in the Contemporary World. Students will develop skills for active democratic citizenship, managing information and ideas, critical and creative thinking, and communication. These skills will be developed through strategies that promote collaboration, decision-making, the organization and collection of data, constructing and interpreting maps, expressing, accepting, and analyzing different opinions, as well as presenting information in a variety of formats. The following units will be studied and have both a knowledge and value based component: 1. Diversity and Pluralism in Canada 2. Democracy and Governance in Canada 3. Canada in the Global Context 4. Canada: Opportunities and Challenges Sciences Humaines 10G (SCH10G) (1 credit) Le Canada dans le monde contemporain Les élèves de secondaire 1 explorent les possibilités et les enjeux du Canada contemporain en examinant les éléments démographiques, politiques, sociaux et culturels du pays. Les élèves considèrent diverses perspectives sur une variété de questions telles que les idéaux démocratiques et les droits de la personne, la présence et l'influence francophones, l'autonomie gouvernementale autochtone, le multiculturalisme, la sécurité sociale et la qualité de vie, les relations majoritaires – minoritaires, les médias de masse et le rôle du Canada dans le monde. En étudiant les interactions et institutions qui façonnent la société canadienne, les élèves participent à des discussions sur la culture et l'identité au Canada. Ils explorent également ce que signifie pour eux la citoyenneté canadienne et réfléchissent sur les principaux facteurs qui influent sur leur identité. Au cours de cette enquête, les élèves enrichiront leur compréhension de la citoyenneté et de l'identité dans le contexte communautaire, canadien et mondial. Les élèves seront ainsi mieux en mesure de devenir des citoyennes ou citoyens informés, actifs et responsables dans une démocratie pluraliste.
