This thirty-six unit course is designed to prepare Ohio students for the AIR English Language Arts I Assessment. The Argumentative and Informative/Essay writing course is divided into two, nine-unit sessions. The first nine units focus on creating argumentative essays. This section is broken down into an overview of arguments, transition words, introduction paragraph, body paragraphs, claims, counterclaims, and the closing paragraph. The second group of nine units hones in on how to cre-ate an informative/expository essay. Units focus on introductory paragraphs, body paragraphs, closing paragraphs, as well as an overview of the informative essay. Stu-dents are asked to use the in-text citation for both essays. This is reviewed in both sections. Starting in Unit 19, there is an introduction to literary analysis, which is the practice of looking closely at small parts to see how much they affect the whole. A literary analysis essay always discusses the significance of the reader’s observa-tions to the main idea about life (the theme). Finally, beginning in Unit 28, informa-tional text is taught. Students read several different passages and answer questions based on these passages. Informational text is a type of nonfiction writing that is written to inform the reader about a specific topic. Students learn about the central idea being the most important point that the author wants to convey about a topic.

In this thirty-six-unit course, students explore pre-calculus topics. Students de-termine what properties hold for operations with complex numbers. They apply combinations as a method to create coefficients for the Binomial Theorem; solve problems involving derived measurements; use radian measures to solve problems involving angular velocity and acceleration; apply informal concepts of successive approximation, upper and lower bounds, and limits in measurement situations. Students use matrices to represent translations, reflections, rotations, dilations, and their compositions; derive and apply the basic trigonometric identities; relate graphical and algebraic representations of lines, simple curves, and conic sections. Students recognize and compare specific shapes and properties in multiple geome-tries; analyze the behavior of arithmetic and geometric sequences and series as the number of terms increases; translate between the numeric and symbolic form of a
sequence or series. They describe and compare the characteristics of transcendental and periodic functions and represent the inverse of a transcendental function sym-bolically; solving systems of equations using matrices and graphs, with and without technology. They use mathematical induction and explore the concepts of limit; compare estimates of the area under a curve over a bounded interval by partitioning the region with rectangles; translate freely between polar and Cartesian coordinate systems; use the concept of limit to find instantaneous rate of change for a point on a graph as the slope of a tangent at a point. They use descriptive statistics to analyze and summarize data, including measures of center, dispersion, correlation, and vari-ability; and use theoretical or experimental probability to determine probabilities in real-world situations involving uncertainty.
