Today was Freshman Orientation...

Question

So I got my schedule for 9th grade. And these are the classes that I got:

Civics/government

Spanish I

Honors English

Health

Algebra I

Physical Science

Drama

Could you guys give me a brief overview of these classes. I'm a bit worried about failing. =] I was a mainly A student in Jr. High. But past and present high schoolers that had these courses, please answer! :p

Thanks!

Answer 1

In civics/gov, you will learn about the inner workings of our society and government, which will revolve around the things going on in the world today..

Spanish I the first class in Spanish; you go over the basics, such as numbers, the alphabet, colors, simple conversation, weather, feelings, and everyday items.

In Honors English I, the teacher expects more from you, being that you are supposed to be good at English. The workload will be increased, but not so much, and more independent reading will be emphasized.

In health I, you focus on: STDs, life choices (abortion, abstinence, drugs, smoking, drinking), and their effects on our lives now.

Algebra I starts off with variables and plugging in numbers, but it advances and the class touches on lines and things, which will be continued in Algebra II.

Physical science is the science of non-living things, and you will learn about matter, the earth, physics, and chemistry.

In drama, you learn about writing screenplays and performing; it basically hones your acting and directing skills.

=) I hope I helped, and good luck with high school!

Answer 2

civic/govt is exactly what it says... you learn the process of  govt. and the procedures...

spanish 1 is easy... you'll enjoy it.

honors english is english with more writing and reading than regular english class

health is learning about health, pretty simple

algebra 1 is the precinct to harder level math, but the course guides you step by step dont worry

physical science... i never had a course called that, but it's like earth science.. you'll discover the history of the earth the cause for natural disasters.. etc..

drama is easy. if you like portraying different characters, you will do just fine

okay, i hope your high school year is great... wish me luck on mine in college :)

Answer 3
