Welcome to CORE 10 with Mrs. Wilson. We will be using Apologia Chemistry (with labs), Notgrass US History, US Literature books, and Mr. D Algebra II. For US Literature, we will be reading Scarlet Letter, Fahrenheit 451, and Hunger Games Book 1. If we have time, we will review the play, Our Town. We will watch the movie, Uncle Tom's Cabin.

There is a tremendous amount of information, so please read all the way through:

PRE-REQUISITES: None for US History/US Literature/Chemistry

For Algebra II: Algebra I and, preferably, Geometry. Algebra I and, preferably, Geometry. Your student should be able to achieve 13 out 15 correct without assistance* on the Section I portion of the Algebra II readiness exam, and 11 out of 15 on Section II. *Without assistance - if you just had to give a minor jog of the memory, that is fine, but then they should be able to do the exam again without assistance.
