2012 Summer Academic Workshops

Getting Ready: Preparing for 9th Grade English 9th grade • July 23 - July 27 (1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.)

Ginger Reese Fee: $150

This program is designed to help assess and identify areas of

growth for more success in the upper school English program.

The sessions are designed for transfer students to Lausanne

Collegiate School from other K-8th Grade programs to get an

early look at the essential skills and content that is covered in

our 9th grade course of study. Upon completion of the course,

students will have an action plan of areas for improvement and

possible strategies and resources to assist their further preparation

for upper school English.

Getting Ready: Preparing for Upper School Mathematics9th - 12th grade • July 30 - August 3 (8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.)

TBD Fee: $150

This program is designed to help assess and identify areas of

growth for more success in the upper school mathematics

program. The sessions are designed for transfer students to

Lausanne Collegiate School from other K-8th Grade programs to

get an early look at the essential skills and content that is covered

in our geometry and Algebra courses of study. Upon completion

of the course, students will have an action plan of areas for

improvement and possible strategies and resources to assist their

further preparation for upper school mathematics.

Essential Student Skills for the Upper School: A Workshop for Greater Achievement9th - 12th grade • July 30 - August 3 (1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.)

Dr. Tom New Fee: $150

This highly interactive program is designed to complete a battery

of diagnostic inventories that will provide participants with a much

more realistic and workable awareness of the key skills and habits

that they will need to be highly successful in a very challenging

upper school program. Participants will leave the multiple sessions

with a better grasp of how they learn best and what habits of the

mind they need to further strengthen as they seek to excel in their

upper school studies.

Art and Critical Writing Course9th - 12th grade • July 9 - 13 (9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.)

Kelly Geer, Upper School Honors English Teacher Fee: $150

The goal of this course is to develop critical thinkers and critical

writers; my approach is to create critique circles that examine in a

student-directed and egalitarian way, different mediums of artistic

expression and how we approach writing about our interpretations

and impressions of such great works of art. We will examine

visual art, poetry, music, film, and sculpture, and strategic methods

that foster skills in critical writing: expressing core suppositions,

using evidence to support our suppositions, imbuing writing with

an original response, using transitions cleverly to pursue context

perspective and the importance of a delicate understanding of

detail and how it integrates a critical stance and provides depth

and texture, much as it does for the signified artifice that is being

examined. At the close of this week long course, students will feel

empowered with a discerning eye and a motivated hand to pen

their observations and perspectives, and comfortably share their

perspectives in the context of their critique circles.

Middle School Math & Algebra Essentials(5th - 8th grade)July 23 - August 3 (1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.)

Dean Wheaton, Middle School Mathematics Teacher Fee: $300

This course is aimed at reinforcing students’ understanding of

mathematical and algebraic skills and concepts in preparation

for higher level courses. We will investigate topics focused on

giving students a strong foundation for success in pre-algebra

and algebra. Beginning with a brief review of arithmetic

skills, students are introduced to the early middle school math

topics, including signed numbers and variables and their use in

problem solving, polynomials, exponent rules, multi-step and

rational equations/inequalities, and even a preview of radicals.

Students will learn to create, analyze, and interpret graphs in

their study of statistics. Geometry continues to be explored,

with students classifying polygons and using measurement skills

to find the perimeter, area, and volume of geometric figures.

Students should expect to be actively challenged with a variety

of meaningful problems, refreshing projects, and interesting real-

world applications.

Intro to Mandarin - Middle SchoolJuly 30 - August 3 (9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.)

Jessie He Fee: $150

This class is designed for beginners to learn the Chinese language

Middle School English

July 23 - August 3 • (9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.)

Ginger Reese Fee: $300

Join us this summer to review all aspects of the writing process.

We will review the parts of speech and the components of a

sentence and a paragraph and work toward a five-paragraph

expository essay. We will review those classroom exercises that

will teach us to write more efficiently and to employ vocabulary

that helps us utilize just the right word. We will diagram our

sentences to see the parts of speech at work. Additionally,

students will review rules of punctuation, study sentence variety

and sentence fluency, and add to their vocabularies, all in the

interest of polishing their written work. Each student will leave

this course with a good review of both grammar and the writing

process.

2012 Summer AcademicCredited Courses

Spanish I

June 18 - July 27 (excluding July 2 - 6) • (12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.)

Mavis Negroni, Upper School Spanish Teacher

Fee: $900 (No Credit) / $1200 (Credit)

Spanish I introduces students to the language and culture of

Spanish-speaking countries. Students will acquire a practical

working knowledge of Spanish pronunciation, vocabulary,

and grammar, while exploring Hispanic cultures, history, and

geography. Although the textbook and its ancillaries will serve as

the foundation of the course, numerous other authentic resources

will be used to support student understanding of grammar and

vocabulary, as well as to foster a deeper appreciation of culture.

These resources include, but are not limited to websites, movies,

commercials, audio files, magazine and newspaper articles, as

well as literature excerpts. By the end of the course, students

will be able to accurately talk about the present using regular,

stem-changing, reflexive and irregular verbs, talk about the past

in its most basic form (preterit), ask for information, express

likes and dislikes, describe with accuracy people and their

surroundings, use an extensive functional vocabulary (cardinal

numbers, nationalities, professions, household items, calendar,

places, physical description, body parts, daily routine, weather,

dates, time, colors, clothing, numbers, and family, among others)

as well as manage a preliminary range of linguistic structures

that will allow them to strongly communicate at a basic-mid

level. Classes are taught in Spanish and students are expected to

speak in the target language. Students will be evaluated through

tests and quizzes, short compositions, short oral presentations,

short listening activities and projects. Final accrual of credit is by

successful performance on a comprehensive exam (75%).

Algebra IJune 4 - July 6 (8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.)

Instructor TBDFee: $900 (No Credit) / $1200 (Credit)

Pre-requisite: Successful completion of pre-algebra program

This course is the bridge between elementary and higher level

mathematics and is designed to lay the conceptual foundations

for advanced mathematical courses. In addition to the focus on

algebraic manipulations of equations, problem-solving and critical-

thinking skills are emphasized. Algebraic principles are connected

with other areas of mathematics, other disciplines, and real-world

applications to provide students with a better understanding of

how algebra is relevant to their lives and their futures. Final accrual

of credit is by successful performance on a comprehensive exam

(75%).

GeometryJune 4 - July 6 (1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.)

Instructor TBD Fee: $900 (No Credit) / $1200 (Credit)

Pre-requisite: Successful completion of pre-algebra program

This course includes the study of the terms, properties, and

relationships related to the study of plane geometry and

introductory solid geometry. Also included is the study of lines,

planes, angles, and polygons, and their specific properties and

relationships, along with some coordinate geometry and elementary

geometric figures. A major purpose of this course is for students

to acquire a strong foundation in the basic definitions, postulates,

theorems, and properties of plane geometry, as well as to develop

deductive reasoning in proofs and problem-solving. Final accrual

of credit is by successful performance on a comprehensive exam

(75%).
