About Critical Content    The purpose of Critical Content is to make known the essential learning for each grade level and subject area. Those objectives are aligned vertically. We used the District’s competency objectives and the state standards to create each Critical Content Outline. Teachers have expressed that these more streamlined documents are useful for setting teaching priorities and developing classroom assessments to monitor student learning. Of course, the Critical Content Outlines are not complete Curriculum Guides, but they do provide all of the required mastery objectives by grade and content area in one location. By using the Outlines from prior and future grade levels, teachers are able to differentiate instruction as students demonstrate needs for review or extension. The Competencies and Standards provide additional learning objectives to round out the curriculum.     Fine Arts    Band 7-9  Choir 7-9 Guitar  World Drumming     Career/Tech Ed   Art 7 Art 8 Drawing and Painting 1 Ceramics 1 Photography 1 Culinary Arts 1 Journalism Yearbook Floriculture  Agriculture Science 1 Architectural Drafting Design Automotive Technology 2: Electrical/Electronic  Automotive Technology 2: Engine Repair  Graphics 1  Graphics 2  Computer Applications  Computer Literacy 7th & 8th Food & Nutrition Computer Graphics  Digital Video  Web Design Engineering       Electives   Beginning Theater Arts Operation Imagination 7th Grade Sports Medicine     English/Language Arts   Course / Grade     7th Grade Scope & Sequence   8th Grade Scope & Sequence   English I - 9th Grade Scope & Sequence   English II - 10th Grade          Scope & Sequence   English III - 11th Grade          Scope & Sequence   English IV - 12th Grade          Scope & Sequence   Devlopemental English II Critical Content Checklist Devlopemental English III Critical Content Checklist Devlopemental English IV     Honors English I Critical Content Checklist Honors English II Critical Content   Honors British Literature Critical Content   English 3 AP     English 4 Humanities     English 4 Practical     English 4 Technical Writing     Speech Critical Content   Speech and Debate     Essential Literacy 1 Critical Content   Essential Literacy 2 Critical Content   Literacy 1 Critical Content   Literacy 2 Critical Content   Literacy 3 Critical Content   Intensive Language Acquisitions         Math   Course / Grade     7th Grade Scope & Sequence Checklist 8th Grade Scope & Sequence Checklist Integrated Algebra/Geometry 1 Critical Content  Checklist Integrated Algebra/Geometry 1A Critical Content  Checklist Integrated Algebra/Geometry 1B Critical Content Checklist Integrated Algebra/Geometry 1C Critical Content Checklist Integrated Algebra/Geometry 1D Critical Content Checklist Integrated Algebra/Geometry 2 Critical Content Checklist Integrated Algebra/Geometry 2A Critical Content Checklist Integrated Algebra/Geometry 2B Critical Content Checklist Integrated Algebra/Geometry 2C Critical Content Checklist Integrated Algebra/Geometry 2D Critical Content Checklist Integrated Algebra/Geometry 3 Critical Content Checklist Honors Integrated Algebra/Geometry 3 Critical Content Checklist Pre-Calculus/Trigonometry Critical Content   AP Calculus Critical Content   Statistics Critical Content Checklist AP Statistics Critical Content   Consumer Math Critical Content   Survey of Math Critical Content Checklist HSPE Math     Visual Math Critical Content   Algebra 1 Critical Content   Algebra 2 Critical Content   Geometry Critical Content   LRC Math Scope & Sequence        Science   7th Grade - Part of Middle School Science Standards 8th Grade - Part of Middle School Science Standards Science Foundations Biology Chemistry Physics Anatomy/Physiology Principles of Physics Oceanography Meteorology Astronomy Geology Health Forensic Science Earth Science Environmental Science Organic Chemistry Outdoor Science      Panel 1 Title   7th Grade Geography One Semester 7th Grade Geography Two Semesters 8th Grade US History World History US History US Government Philosophy Introduction to Psychology Applied Economics     Study Skills   Study Skills 7/8 Study Skills 1 Study Instruction 1.1/2.1 Communication and Instruction 1.1/1.4 LEP Study Skills
