  7. Common Core Curriculum Honors English 9 is designed to be an inquiry-based course, integrating reading, writing, discussion, and critical thinking in all units. Teachers collaborate to create lessons which call on students to explore ideas, interact with the text and develop thoughtful understanding in accordance with the FCUSD mission statement.

  8. GPS Curriculum • All students, whether or not they are officially enrolled in the GPS program, will receive integrated instruction in their core classes. • In 9th grade English, students explore literary works from across cultures which address the question of how journeys, both literal and figurative, define the human experience as part of a global society.
