  14. COURSE SELECTION • What courses should I take? • What are honors courses like? • What courses were recommended by my current teachers? • Am I challenging myself appropriately? • What type of diploma am I working towards? • Will I be overwhelmed considering my activities and schoolwork?

  15. SHOULD I TAKE HONORS COURSES? Questions to ask yourself: • What kind of student am I? • Do I have strong organizational skills, strong study habits, and the desire to devote extra time to my courses? • Am I thinking about AP courses in the future?

  16. SHOULD I TAKE HONORS COURSES? Honors courses generally offer students: • Greater emphasis on analysis • Analytical skill development • More reading and writing required • You do not have to take ALL Honors classes, even if you take AP classes in the future

  18. English 9 Honors requires a real time commitment for homework “ completion (mostly reading) on the parts of the kids. We’re talking at least 15-30 minutes PER NIGHT (not just class night) and, if the kid procrastinates, that time keeps building on itself, making a real obstacle for some students. Some bright kids who didn’t have to work very hard to do well in English 8 Honors quickly feel ” overwhelmed when they let a few assignments slip and their grades (and often their ability to keep up in class) suffer noticeably because of it. TEACHER ADVICE: ENGLISH HONORS

  19. The Honors courses have extended topics that are not covered in “ the Regular courses (about 15% of the curriculum for each subject). For example, if you took Regular Algebra 1, they missed 15% of the Honors Algebra 1 course that they will be expected to know in Honors Geometry. If you took Regular Algebra 1 and Geometry and now decide to take Honors Algebra 2, they have ” missed 15% of the curriculum from two courses (30% total) that their classmates who took all Honors courses had. TEACHER ADVICE: MATH HONORS
