Welcome to 8 th Grade Integrated Math! During the course of this school year students will bridge the gap between the ideas of pre-algebra in 7 th grade to the advanced algebra and geometry ideas they will encounter in high school. In this transition year, students will use different themes in math to learn to think critically and work cooperatively with peers while using academic dialogue. They will continue to build their understanding of the properties of numbers, geometry, measurement, statistical analysis, probability, and most of all, algebra. We will primarily use be using guided notes and practice problems that I have developed as well as some resources from the web to supplement these materials. All the notes and practice will be available on Schoology along with the answers for students who were absent and for students to check their work.

8th Grade Science Annie Christy [email protected] 2018-2019 Description: Welcome to an exciting year in 8th grade science! This is the last general science year for students before they move into the high school curriculum which demands year long, in-depth studies in the major disciplines. Because of this, we have the opportunity to explore and expand the students understanding of the main subject areas before they have to make a choice of what to study in high school, leading to an exciting and dynamic year in the science classroom! The first unit of the year will focus on the transfer of energy, kinetic energy and engineering. We will then continue our focus on physics and energy, specifically thermal energy. Our next unit will begin to transition towards the topics of ecosystems and the dynamic systems that influence biodiversity. The last unit will be a life science unit covering basic heredity, diversity of life and evolution. In 8th grade science, students build critical thinking skills in order to conduct scientific investigations and experiments within the classroom. They have the opportunity to explore phenomena through hands on experiences that will connect what they are learning in the classroom and with their life outside of school. Students are challenged to explore topics by a variety of methods which include individual and group research, lab activities, designing their own experiments or models, cooperative learning and other forms of group work. Class lessons, assignments and other documents will be available to the students on Schoology. Grade 8 standards covered this year are: Standard 2: Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics Standard 3: Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits Standard 4: Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity Standard 7: Energy Standard 9: Earth’s Place in the Universe Standard 11: Earth and Human Activity Standard 12: Understands the nature of scientific inquiry

COLEGIO BOLÍVAR ESPAÑOL Y LITERATURA COLOMBIANA

Descripción del curso Octavo grado (2018-2019)

Profesor: José Darío Arboleda A. Salón: K-4 [email protected] [email protected] En primer lugar quiero darles la bienvenida a este curso de lenguaje y literatura colombiana que pretende que aumentes tu capacidad analítica a través de la lectura de diferentes tipos de textos, y hagas conexiones importantes con la historia de nuestro país.

La lectura de los textos literarios te permitirá comprender el contexto histórico, las principales características de las épocas o movimientos literarios a los que pertenecen y la manera e intencionalidad en la que dichos autores abordan las temáticas planteadas en sus obras. En cuanto a la interpretación de los textos expositivos y argumentativos, su finalidad será reconocer su complejidad a través de los diferentes niveles que componen su estructura.

Tu papel en este proceso será protagónico, por eso la participación en el

desarrollo de las secuencias será decisiva. A continuación se presentan las secuencias didácticas que se desarrollarán en el transcurso del año:

Primera secuencia: Agosto- octubre Literatura y violencia: En un país como Colombia marcado por el conflicto y la

violencia durante más de medio siglo, es imposible que los escritores de literatura puedan abstenerse a esta realidad; es así como desde las primeras décadas del siglo XX autores tanto de cuento como novela han contextualizado esta problemática política, social y económica y la manera cómo ha afectado a los colombianos. Para acercarte a este panorama, leerás cuentos cortos de Hernando Téllez, Manuel Mejía Vallejo, Mario Mendoza, entre otros y La niebla no pudo ocultarlo del antioqueño Albeiro Echavarría. Para ampliar la comprensión de esta novela leerás textos de opinión sobre la situación histórica del conflicto colombiano, entre otros, que serán fundamentales para conocer estrategias argumentativas que faciliten la producción textual de esta clase de textos.

Segunda secuencia: Octubre- diciembre. El lugar del padre en la narrativa de Héctor Abad Faciolince y en algunos(as)

poetas colombianos: Para abordar esta propuesta leerás la novela El olvido que seremos, escrita por el antioqueño Héctor Abad Faciolince y una selección de poemas colombianos, que permiten analizar y comprender el sentido y la representación simbólica de la figura paterna a través del lenguaje poético, en un contexto particular de violencia. Este trabajo de análisis llevará a la producción textual, en la que se ofrecerá una diversidad de consignas que permitirá reflexionar sobre

Page 9: 8th Grade Integrated Math 1 - Colegio Bolivar · Unit 2: Writing and Solving Algebraic Equations . Unit 3: Linear Functions . Semester 2 Unit 4: Solving and Graphing LinearInequalities

Tercera secuencia: Enero-marzo El héroe decadente en la literatura urbana Con la novela Cobro de sangre del bogotano Mario Mendoza y algunos cuentos del mismo género, reconoceremos diferentes formas de violencia urbana, la clase de héroe de estas narraciones, el tema de la discriminación social y como desde la potencia y riqueza literaria se pueden tratar estos temas oscuros y complejos.

Cuarta secuencia: Abril-mayo La muerte y el absurdo: La novela Crónica de una muerte anunciada, de Gabriel García Márquez, no solo te cautivará con la historia de sus protagonistas y la forma como el absurdo se asocia con la muerte de uno de ellos, sino que podrás comprender el “realismo mágico”, estilo que identifica al Nobel colombiano y la particularidad temporal que caracteriza esta novela. Este escenario será el espacio propicio para leer textos que amplíen la mirada de este autor y la novela, y que de paso te permitan producir un texto cuya estructura será la de problema-solución a partir de una variedad de propuestas a propósito de esta lectura.

Consideraciones importantes

• Este año continuaremos con el Club de Lectura como parte del estándar de comprensión e interpretación crítica de texto literario, deberás leer de manera rotativa y autónoma cuatro textos. De manera oportuna recibirás información sobre la lectura de cada texto y la actividad de clausura que haremos después de su lectura.

• Se entiende que antes de dar por terminado un texto has pasado por un

proceso de planeación, escritura y reescritura que te haya hecho pensar claramente en una situación de enunciación, en los aspectos formales y organización de las ideas.

Evaluación Las actividades de aprendizaje propuestas en cada secuencia serán evaluadas tanto formativa como sumativa. Algunas de ellas serán: seguimiento del trabajo de clase, participación en conversatorios y exposiciones, toma de notas de cada clase, talleres de comprensión de lectura, cuaderno actualizado y ordenado, escritura de diferentes clases de textos, realización de tareas y proyectos y, por lo menos, un trabajo integrado con ICT, exámenes (algunos pueden ser sorpresa), autoevaluaciones y co-evaluaciones. Esta clase pretende generar un ambiente propicio para que podamos reconocer y respetar al otro, incentivar el deseo por leer, reflexionar sobre lo aprendido, pensar en forma crítica y escribir. Recurso: Schoology Este sitio estará disponible para que estés actualizado en lo que a principales actividades, tareas y proyectos se refiere.

K Block, K-10

Hello, my name is Matthew Sucaet and I will be conducting the 8th grade English classes at Colegio Bolivar. I graduated from Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids, MI after completing my student teaching at Gull Lake High School, near Kalamazoo, MI. I am originally from Warren, MI where I attended high school at Warren Mott. There, I found my passion for both English and sports. This continued at GVSU where I majored in English (history minor) and I had the opportunity to play American football for the twice national champion football team. I’ve played in a bluegrass band in the States for ten years, singing and playing guitar and traveling the country. I was recently married to Ms. Hannah Morgan, the new 9th grade Biology teacher and now I am so thankful to be here at Colegio Bolivar in beautiful Cali working with this community.

English 8 and Honors English 8 will develop 8th grade students as writers, readers, speakers, and technologically proficient members of a global society. The reading and writing will be done utilizing the workshop method of learning which focuses on student choice and skill-based learning. Grades will follow the standard and benchmark format on a 0-4 scale. All summative assessments will be communicated as such in the assignment descriptions. Interactive notebooks will be used for formative assessments and will be a key tool for reinforcement days.

Course Standards:

Standard 1: Oral Communication

• listen to understand and respond appropriately in a variety of situations for a variety of purposes

Course Description: Units of Study Workshop Model

Traditional Classrooms

Workshop Model

Teacher selects texts and topics for students’ independent reading and writing.

Student selects own texts and topics for independent reading and writing.

Text selection is often based on a theme and/or the teacher’s interests, preferences, or beliefs

Teacher selects the read-alouds and mentor texts that anchor a genre-based unit of study.

Assessment is comprised of book quizzes, editing exercises, multiple-choice and short response tests, essays and other forms of traditional assessment.

Assessment is comprised of on-demand performance assessments, running records, anecdotal notes, and other assessments of students engaged in authentic reading and writing tasks.

Class sets of novels and whole group discussions or assignments. Whole-group texts are at the frustration level for some readers and too easy for others.

Rotating classroom libraries with a wide variety of high-interest texts. Students choose their own independent “courses of study” and participate in partner reading and book clubs at their appropriate reading level.

Whole group instruction and discussion comprises the majority of the period.

• Mr. Sucaet will post materials from class on Schoology. All assignments will be turned in using Google Classrooms.

Independent Reading

• Independent reading will play an important role in 8th grade English. Students will be required to read independently inside and outside of class.

Grammar

• Grammar will be taught in conjunction with the writing and reading units. Focused lessons will come directly from the needs of the students. We will utilize Khan Academy´s lessons for focused mastery as bell work.

Presentations

• Group discussions as well as formal presentations are an important part of English class. Students can expect to do several presentations during the school year to focus on improving their spoken English skills.

After School Reinforcements

• Students who need extra help are encouraged to stay for after school reinforcements from 2:30-3:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. During this time, students can ask questions, work on assignments, or study. Students must sign up one day in advance, and they must write down what they need to reinforce. Their Interactive Notebooks will be required to determine what the amount of skill comprehension.

Late Policy

• Turning in an assignment late is inevitable. It happens to all of us, even your teachers! This policy is meant to stress the importance of turning in work in a timely manner while simultaneously not pressing a student into turning in incomplete work. If homework or projects are not turned in by the due date, it is considered a late assignment. Students will have 3 days (including the day it was due) to turn in the missing work for partial credit. If it is not turned in, it will be considered a missing assignment and given a ZERO (0).

The late work policy applies to students who are absent. All late work submitted by students who are absent will be evaluated on a case by case basis.

PROFESOR: Edgar Fernando Velasco H. [email protected] S Block, S-6 La salud es un derecho universal. Por tanto, es una obligación desarrollar programas educativos que permitan su promoción y prevención, contribuyendo a que las personas desarrollen una vida individual, social y económicamente productiva. Cuando se aborda el tema de la salud, muchas personas consideran que “las cosas malas le pasan a otros”, pero cuando se encuentran involucrados en una situación extrema se preguntan ¿por qué a mí? La salud es un derecho universal y la educación o promoción de la misma es una necesidad. Durante el desarrollo del contenido del programa propuesto para el año lectivo, se tratarán temas que promuevan la promoción y prevención de la salud, a través de la educación y la responsabilidad tanto individual como colectiva. Metodología Teniendo en cuenta los temas que se tratarán durante el año lectivo, se hace necesario que el Estudiante consulte previamente y llegue preparado para el desarrollo de los mismos en la clase. Se realizarán actividades en la mayoría de las clases, que en caso de no terminarse en el salón, se asignarán como tarea para complementar en la casa, lo cual permite reforzar lo visto en clase y verificar sus procesos de aprendizaje. Adicionalmente, se harán evaluaciones cortas (algunas sin avisar), trabajos de investigación y exámenes. El contenido del programa está diseñado para educar a los estudiantes, de acuerdo con los siguientes estándares:

• St. 1 Entender la importancia de la nutrición y la actividad física con el fin de llevar una vida saludable • St. 2 Crecimiento, desarrollo y salud sexual • St. 3 Seguridad y prevención de lesiones • St. 4 Prevención de sustancias psicoactivas: alcohol tabaco y otras drogas • St. 5 Salud mental, social y emocional

Evaluación La evaluación será cuantitativa y cualitativa, lo cual le permitirá al estudiante demostrar sus conocimientos y habilidades dentro del proceso de enseñanza – aprendizaje. Cada estándar será evaluado a través de indicadores, en dicho proceso se tendrá en cuenta el trabajo en clase, la participación asertiva, el interés y la responsabilidad. La valoración de su trabajo será con base en la rúbrica GENERAL, la cual muestra los niveles y categorías de sus procesos de aprendizaje.

Actitud y comportamiento Con el ánimo de alcanzar acuerdos que faciliten la interacción en el salón de clase durante el desarrollo del curso, y teniendo en cuenta las directrices trazadas por el Colegio en el Manual de Convivencia, a continuación hay un resumen de las normas básicas que debemos seguir: • Respeto hacia el docente y mis compañeros, con la clase. • Evitar comer en clase, no comer chicle. • Prohibido uso de celulares u otro aparato electrónico (excepto que esté autorizado por el profesor) • Llegar puntual y preparado a clase. • En caso de inasistencia, enviarme un correo, para ponerse al día y llegar listo la siguiente clase. • No está permitido ir al baño, (se exceptúan casos de emergencia). • Las maletas deben dejarse en el mesón cerca a las ventanas, sólo sacan los materiales de trabajo. • Inscribirse para los refuerzos. Recurso: Schoology. Este sitio estará disponible para que el estudiante mantenga actualizado en los contenidos, tareas y proyectos de la clase.

TEACHER: Ms. Adriana Avila [email protected] J Block, J-6

The Study skills program provides the opportunity for middle school students who are lagging behind on their daily activities to pursue and receive support in diverse study habits. Students will receive support in organizational skills like, making sure their materials are always handy and in working condition, note taking material is always complete and organized, and arrival to class is punctual. Students will also be assisted so that homework assignments are well done and on time, and note taking is pertinent and detailed. Those who attend study skills will be constantly encouraged to multitask, and to carry their tasks to completion. During their development in this area students will be motivated to start and remain on their activities independently so they will ultimately use these skills at home at their own will. All of the previous support cannot take place under any circumstance without the use of the students’ agenda. The use of the agenda for the purpose of recording in detail every task, assignment, homework, or project to be planned and executed is a must and the student must have it at all times. Agenda management for planning is probably the most important study skill the student has to learn and master because that is where it all begins. I will be attending your student´s classes to track their performance and assist them in their daily tasks to ensure that they are complying with their teachers’ assignments and goals. Class Structure (Subject to change based on individual class need) Bellwork: 5 min. of silent work. 5 min of review (10 min.) Introduction To New Material: 15 min. of instruction reviewing objectives from other classes. Will vary depending on class. Students will take notes and participate in instruction by asking and answering questions. Guided Practice: 15 min. of working on objectives covered during the introduction to new material. Teacher will walk around class and assist with questions. Project/Assistance/Organization: 30 min. to ensure success in other classes. Receiving assistance with study skills, projects, and graphic organizers. Organizing schedule and assignments. Receiving assistance from Ms. Avila on a specific skill that student is struggling to master. Exit Card: 5 min. quiz assessing the objective covered in the Power Up, Introduction to New Material, and Guided Practice. The quiz will be short. 5 min. to review objectives, provide closure, and pack up. (10 min. total)
