7th Grade Course Descriptions
REQUIRED CLASSES
LANGUAGE ARTS 7--English is the study of our language. During the year we will stress reading, writing, grammar, and critical thinking skills. Our purpose is to help the student improve their understanding and use of their language. The program involves instruction in the following areas: speaking and listening skills, informational texts, critical thinking, reading, and writing strategies.
MATH GRADE 7--Students will focus on developing understanding of and applying proportional relationships; developing understanding of operations with rational numbers and working with expressions and linear equations; solving problems involving scale drawings and informal geometric constructions, and working with two- and three- dimensional shapes to solve problems involving area, surface area, and volume; and drawing inferences about populations based on samples.
INTEGRATED SCIENCE 7--The seventh grade SEEd (State of Utah Science with Engineering Education) standards look for relationships of cause and effect which enable students to pinpoint mechanisms of nature and allow them to make predictions. Students will explore how forces can cause changes in motion and are responsible for the transfer of energy and the cycling of matter. This takes place within and between a wide variety of systems, from simple, short-term forces on individual objects to the deep, long-term forces that shape our planet. In turn, Earth's environments provide the conditions for life as we know it. Organisms survive and reproduce only to the extent that their own mechanisms and adaptations allow. Evidence for the evolutionary histories of life on Earth is provided through the fossil record, similarities in the various structures among species, organism development, and genetic similarities across all organisms. Additionally, mechanisms shaping Earth are understood as forces affecting the cycling of Earth's materials. Questions about cause and effect and the ongoing search for evidence in science, or science’s ongoing search for evidence, drive this storyline.
COLLEGE AND CAREER AWARENESS (Fee$) Trimester (Twelve Wk. Classes) --College and Career Awareness offers exploration and preparation in college and career pathways focusing on jobs that are high skill and high demand, as well as satisfying and financially rewarding. The College and Career Awareness course is designed to help students identify their interests, abilities, and skills. With appropriate developmental information related to careers, educational pathways, and self-knowledge, students are able to begin to make college and career goals for the future. College and Career Awareness is designed to acquaint students with the Utah labor market and the employment opportunities for which they can prepare by defining a College and Career Ready Plan.
HOMEROOM--This class is a 30-minute class. Students will participate in the Second Step curriculum. Planners will be checked weekly. Self-knowledge and career activities will take place as well.
BEGINNING FITNESS (Class Fee) --This course consists of developing fitness and skills. Fitness involves push-ups, crunches, and a five-minute run daily.

Students must improve each time they are tested. Skills that will be required are in the following sports: flag football, soccer, speedball, volleyball, basketball, track and field, and softball.
UTAH STUDIES--This course is a study of Utah, emphasizing both the geography and history of the state. We will look at the themes of geography and how they apply to Utah, and cover the major land formations, major rivers, lakes and drainage areas, major mountains and physical regions, Utah climate and Utah counties. The study of history will begin with prehistoric Utah and cover Utah Indians, early trappers and explorers. Emphasis is placed on Mormon migration westward and the colonization of Utah. We learn about the organization of the Utah Government and how it functions in our lives. The course focuses on current events and involvement in our community.

FULL YEAR REQUIRED COURSES
LANGUAGE ARTS 8 English is the study of our language. During the year we will focus on reading, writing, grammar, and critical thinking skills. Our purpose is to help students improve their understanding and use of language. The program involves instruction in the following areas: speaking and listening skills, informational texts, critical thinking, reading, and writing strategies.
8TH GRADE MATH Students will focus on formulating and reasoning about expressions and equations, including modeling an association in bivariate data with a linear equation, and solving linear equations and systems of linear equations; grasping the concept of a function and using functions to describe quantitative relationships; and analyzing two- and three-dimensional space and figures using distance, angle, similarity, and congruence, and understanding and applying the Pythagorean Theorem.
INTEGRATED SCIENCE State of Utah Science with Engineering Education (SEEd) Standards Focus is on the constant interaction of matter and energy in nature. Students will explore how matter is arranged into either simple or complex substances. Emphasize on how substances store and transfer energy, which can cause them to interact physically and chemically, provide energy to living organisms, or be harnessed and used by humans. Matter and energy cycle and change in ecosystems through processes that occur during photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Additionally, substances that provide a benefit to organisms, including humans, are unevenly distributed on Earth due to geologic and atmospheric systems. Some resources form quickly, allowing them to be renewable, while other resources are nonrenewable. Evidence reveals that Earth systems change and affect ecosystems and organisms in positive and negative ways.
U.S. HISTORY A study of United States History from the early explorers from Europe up to the Civil War. Specific areas of study will include the discovery of America, our Revolutionary War Period resulting in independence and then a detailed study of the U.S. Constitution and its democratic principles of government. Additional area of study will include Westward Expansion, the Civil War, Invention and Discovery. An emphasis will be placed on the geography of the U.S. through the use of map work.

OTHER INFORMATION
SPECIAL EDUCATION Support services through Special Education are available to students who qualify and have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). These services vary depending on a student's need. We offer directed studies in Math and Language Arts; Resource classes in Math, Language Arts, and Reading; and Self-Contained Life Skills classes. *Students must meet eligibility requirements. Each student's IEP is managed by a Special Education teacher. The Special Education teacher will make class referral according to student’s IEP. Related services are managed through the case manager and the service provider as well.
For students who struggle but do not currently have an IEP, his/her parents and teachers may refer the student for testing. Teacher teams work to institute interventions and provide the necessary documentation to the Special Education team. The documentation and testing results are then considered to determine whether specific learning problems are evident. A team meeting is held with parent and necessary staff to consider eligibility. Students can receive additional support in school if they qualify. If you have concerns and would like more information about this process, please contact the school.
HONORS CLASS LANGUAGE ARTS The Honors Language Arts class is designed to be more rigorous and challenging than the typical class. Overall, expectations are higher: quality of work, attendance, responsibility, participation, communication, and academic achievement. Students must be prepared to meet all the Honors' standards, including proof of at least a 6th grade reading level or higher from 7th grade and have a willingness accept the challenges of the course content. It is fast paced, requiring multi-tasking skills and a desire to prepare for high school and beyond. Students must maintain a C+ or higher by the end of each term. The student will be placed on probation for one term to raise their average to above a C+ or higher. They must maintain that academic expectation for the rest of the year, or they will be placed in a traditional ELA class. This class meets every other day and moves quickly to cover the entire 8th grade curriculum required by the state and our district.
