Electives

In EIS, students from the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade can choose and elective for the whole year. In electives students can share a different experience by receiving another type of subjects like study skills, music, art, economics, French, yearbook, college preparation, creative writing, and media. Tenth graders can choose from only some electives such as: study skills, music, art, economics, and French. Eleventh and twelfth graders can choose the same electives, but something different compared to the tenth elective class. These electives are: yearbook, economics (advanced in you already took that subject in tenth or eleventh), art, music, college prep, creative writing, French, and media (advanced if you already took that subject in eleventh). All the students receive elective class three times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I asked a student what she/he thought about elective class and she told me, “Yearbook is a good class; it is entertaining to have it as an elective because we learn new things and making the yearbook should be fun”. I think that it this person is recommending yearbook as an elective class, I people should consider this option. It is good for students to have an elective class because students should learn other things besides the general subjects. Elective may be fun, but it doesn’t mean you will not work because you will. The elective class is for having fun and it is made for students to learn new things that may help may help you out in the future.
