[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is taking this in 6th right now. He read "A Long Walk to Water" in the first semester and is currently reading "The Red Scarf Girl." At the end of the year, the class will participate in a Model UN program (in school, not as an after-school activity). At our school you need to be selected for the class, so the biggest benefit is that it's a leveled class.[/quote]

Same books at my kid's middle school, though he did the Model UN simulation at the end of the first semester.

I read both books after he did because he really liked them, and I enjoyed them too (I particularly learned a lot from "Red Scarf Girl). HIGH is my child's favorite class, and it seems to be a good substitute for an actual rigorous English class, since the curriculum in English is super slow and repetitive, particularly for kids who come from ELC and are used to more depth. HIGH includes a good deal of analyzing texts and doing writing assignments that involve citing evidence. [/quote]
