[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is in all intensified courses in 6th grade and it isn't a lot of extra work or homework. They say the difference is same material covered, they just go "deeper". One actual example given by the english teacher is in intensified they read the book and in regular english, they read excerpts of the book. I'm leaving math out of it since you didn't ask about that.[/quote] Thank you! Do you have any sense of the difference in Social Studies and Science?[/quote] In 6th grade US history the normal section would go over what happened in the Civil War and answer questions. In the intensified section they wrote journal entries from the point of view of a person experiencing the Civil War. My kid had to research details to try to create accurate entries consistent with the chronology.[/quote]
