Geometry
Geometry is a year long course that adds a third dimension to mathematics for the study of the world around us. Some students who have struggled previously with Algebra excel in Geometry and vice versa.
Each day of class bring the following:
- Textbook
- Sharpened pencil
- Notebook for daily notes
- Geo-journal (spiral notebook is fine)
- Drawing tools
Grades:Your grade is determined by dividing the points you've earned by the total points available.
- Tests - 100 points
- Quizzes - ~30 points
- Recorded Homework - 4 points each
- Projects - To be determined
* Most of the grade is comprised of the test and quiz scores. Homework, however, is very important. Late homework will be accpted up until the chapter test but for half credit. After the test it is worth zero credit. Three zeros in amarking period will drop your grade one step (i.e., A- to a B+). You will be given the chance to retake one test and two quizzes per semester if you have all your homework in.
Prerequisites: Algebra I, preferably with a "C" average or better.

Web Design and Video Production I
This is a project-orented course designed to introduce students to the good design of a website and introduce complete production of short videos.
We begin the year learning good design principles and html code to better understand and be able to manipulate html editors. This allows students to be precise in how they want
their web pages to look. Along with the html code, we will work with Phototshop, Microsoft Front Page, Java Script, and Cascading Style Sheets and possibly Flash.
Also during the first semester students learn how to use our cameras ans will be required to record two or three after-school events such as sporting events, board meetings, and concerts.
Around mid-year we begin video production in which students will learn to use and care for video and audio equipmen, how to get ideas from the mind on to paper ready to shoot, and properties of good camera work. Once the filming is done they will learn how to use linear and non-linear editing methods to polish off their work. Programs involved include Adobe Premiere, Photoshop, After Effects, and 3-D Studio Max.

Web Design / Video Production II
This course is designed to enhance one's skills in web design / video productiuon and put them to the test. We will be doing many "live" projects for real customers.
This year we will be getting some new equipment. When and what is yet to be determined.
Be Patient. The attitude and slogan for this class is:
We will find a way!
Programs include Adobe Premire, Photoshop, After Effects, and 3-D Studio Max and whatever
else we can get our hands on.
In this class, you will be expected to cover some after-school/in-school
activities. You will also be required to be responsible for yourself as there are many students that will be doing different things. You will be expected to search and learn some web designs aspects on your own and learn editing skills from videos and CD's.
Prerequisites: Students are required to have completed Web Design / Video Production I or be approved by the instructor ahead of time.
