IB THEATRE SL

ENG520321 / ENG520322 Year/1 Credit Prerequisite: None Grade 11 or 12

IB THEATRE HL (Year One)

ENG520421 / ENG520422 Year/1 Credit Prerequisite: None Grade 11

IB THEATRE HL (Year Two)

ENG520521 / ENG520522 Year/1 Credit Prerequisite: IB Theater HL (Year One) Grade 12 The Diploma Programme theatre course is designed to en-courage students to examine theatre in its diversity of forms around the world. This may be achieved through a critical study of the theory, history and culture of theatre, and will find expression through work shopping, devised work or scripted performance. The theatre course emphasizes the im-portance of working individually and as a member of an en-semble. Students are encouraged to develop the organiza-tional and technical skills needed to express themselves cre-atively in theatre. A further challenge for students following this course is for them to become aware of their own per-spectives and biases and to learn to respect those of others. The theatre course requires no previous experience in drama or theatre. Since the course is designed to enable students to experience theatre on a personal level, achievement in this subject is reflected in how students develop, extend and re-fine the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for study-ing this art form. Students’ individual ability to be creative and imaginative, and to communicate in dramatic form, will be challenged and extended through the theoretical and prac-tical content of the course.

Due to the nature of the theatre course, there may be no great difference in the complexity or artistic merit of the work produced by students at SL and HL. However, the difference in recommended teaching times at SL (one year) and HL (two years) signals a clear distinction between the demands made on students. It is expected that students at HL will use the extra time available to develop their personal research and practice in theatre, and to extend their understanding of the ideas, practices and concepts encountered during the course.

IB Theatre SL/HL is an elective course. It does not replace the required registration of English 11 or IB English HL. Note: IB Theater HL is a two-year course. Students in the IB Diploma Programme who select this option must take both courses listed above during their Junior and Senior year.

IB THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE (Senior Year-Semester One)

OTH030021 Semester/.5 Credit Prerequisite: Theory of Knowledge (Junior Year, Semester Two) Grade 12 Theory of Knowledge is an epistemology course that exam-ines how we know what we know. Theory of Knowledge is a key component of the IB Program, as it unifies and connects the knowledge acquired by students across all other subject areas. Beginning with an examination of themselves as “knowers”. Theory of Knowledge challenges students to re-flect about what they “know” about themselves and their world. It challenges students to reflect critically on the various ways of acquiring, applying, testing and communicating knowledge. No other course is designed exclusively for criti-cal reflection about our pursuit of knowledge… our “thinking about our thinking.”



In addition to encouraging students’ awareness of themselves as thinkers, Theory of Knowledge also provides a philosophical foundation for other courses across the IB spectrum – examin-ing the origins, development, strengths and limitations of human knowledge across the disciplines of History, the Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, Mathematics, Ethics, the Arts and Humanities. This is a one-year course. Students take this course second semester of junior year and first semester of senior year. There are no internal or external exams for this course. Note: The IB Theory of Knowledge course is a full-year course, offered two semesters over two school years as noted above. Students in the IB Diploma Programme who select this option must take both courses listed above during their Junior and Senior year. Any student can enroll in IB Theory of Knowledge; however, IB Diploma and Certificate students will be given priority.

IB ENGLISH HL (Year Two)

ENG039221 / ENG039222 Year/1 Credit Grade 12 Prerequisite: IB English A-1 HL (Year One) West The focus of this course is to develop the student’s ability to analyze thoughtful, challenging literature from different periods or cultures and to be able to compare works with similar styles, themes, and genres. Key to understanding philosophi-cal themes, literary figures of speech, syntax, and rhetorical strategies is an understanding of the power of words. Students charged with examining works deeply, must be cognizant of how it is they reason logically and respond emotionally. This course will primarily utilize oral and written assessments which coincide with the expectations of the Eng-lish A1 program. Note: IB English A-1 HL is a two-year course.

IB THEATRE HL (Year Two) ENG520521 / ENG520522 Year/1 Credit Prerequisite: IB Theater HL (Year One) Grade 12 West

The Diploma Programme theatre course is designed to encour-age students to examine theatre in its diversity of forms around the world. This may be achieved through a critical study of the theory, history and culture of theatre, and will find expression through work shopping, devised work or scripted performance. The theatre course emphasizes the importance of working individually and as a member of an ensemble. Students are encouraged to develop the organizational and technical skills needed to express themselves creatively in theatre. A further challenge for students following this course is for them to become aware of their own perspectives and biases and to learn to respect those of others. The theatre course requires no previous experience in drama or theatre. Since the course is designed to enable students to experience theatre on a per-sonal level, achievement in this subject is reflected in how stu-dents develop, extend and refine the knowledge, skills and atti-tudes necessary for studying this art form. Students’ individual ability to be creative and imaginative, and to communicate in dramatic form, will be challenged and extended through the theoretical and practical content of the course. Due to the na-ture of the theatre course, there may be no great difference in the complexity or artistic merit of the work produced by stu-dents at SL and HL. However, the difference in recommended teaching times at SL (one year) and HL (two years) signals a clear distinction between the demands made on students. It is expected that students at HL will use the extra time available to develop their personal research and practice in theatre, and to extend their understanding of the ideas, practices and concepts encountered during the course.

Note: IB Theater HL is a two-year course. Students in the IB Diploma Programme who select this option must take both courses listed above during their Junior and Senior year.

Note: IB Theatre SL/HL is an elective course. It does not replace the required registration of English 11 or IB English HL.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND HEALTH

NOTES:

All students must earn 1.5 credits of physical education to fulfill the graduation requirements. These 1.5 credits must be taken in three (3) sepa-

rate years to support the goal of staying active each school year. Exceptions will be made if a student has failed a class and needs to make up the credit. If a student does not satisfactorily complete 1.5 credits of physical education for any reason other than a medical excuse, the student will not have met the board of education requirements for graduation and, therefore, will not graduate.

Students wishing to take physical education 12 for a full year should register for course numbers PED049421 / PED049422.

Students will decide during the registration process each year whether to take physical education on a pass/fail basis (not included in the grade

point average) or for a letter grade (included in the grade point average). Students may change their grading choice for physical education (pass/fail basis or letter grade) until the day before school starts in the fall for either the first or second semester of that school year. The deci-sion is final for the year the choice was selected. However, seniors taking physical education as an elective must take it for a letter grade, which would be included in the grade point average.

Students are encouraged to take different courses. However, any class (except Physical Education 9) may be taken twice to fulfill the physical

education requirement if that is where the student’s interest lies. Classes being taken either a second time to meet graduation requirements or as an elective must be taken for a letter grade (included in the grade point average). This does not include classes being taken for a second time due to a failure. Students will be limited to enrolling in a total of 1.0 physical education credit in one year, unless classes are being taken due to previous course failure and the need to reach credits required for graduation.

WORLD LANGUAGE

NOTES:

A number of colleges require either world language credits for admission or world language credits within the course of college study. It is best

to determine the policy of each college individually. For those colleges that do require world language, courses taken at the middle and high school level may count toward meeting the world language requirement. Many colleges will count world language courses taken in the middle and high school toward meeting the 17 total unit requirement for admission.

Students who have satisfactorily completed the two-year middle school sequence should enroll at the level (2) in the high school world language

program. An adjustment period may be necessary for some students. Students not performing satisfactorily after the first or second grading period may be asked to consider transferring into the appropriate level (1). Students will not earn credit twice for the repeated course. The high-er of the grades for each semester will be reflected on the high school transcript and count in the grade point average.

Adequate enrollments will determine if various levels are offered.
