Hopedale Jr.-Sr. High School has various 21st century learning expectations all students should acquire in order to be successful in a global society. These include collaborating effectively in diverse teams; communicating effectively both orally and in writing; utilizing media literacy skills to research, gather, evaluate, and communicate information across all disciplines; demonstrate creativity and innovation in learning; read, comprehend, and analyze a variety of texts in all content areas; solve problems and think critically; and use strategies to set and achieve goals.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Hopedale District Curriculum

The curriculum emphasizes literacy and communication skills as a central part of all subject area learning. Reading is taught so that students are able to look for the purpose of the text in both fiction and non-fiction, be able to analyze characters or stories, recognize the craft and literary techniques used in stories and the purpose of different text features in non-fiction. When students learn to write, they are given a variety of purposes for which to write. They are given opportunities to write persuasively, creatively, and analytically.

Once students are in high school, the curriculum allows them to focus in-depth on each academic subject and calls upon them to do work that will prepare them for college. Hopedale offers a School to Career Internship program in which seniors have the opportunity to partake in a practical work study in a career area that interests them for two class periods a day. In order to participate in this program, students must be organized, responsible, committed to the program, able to follow through on assignments, prompt, and professional.

Chalk Talk: Finding Perimeter

Third grade students will learn to find the perimeter of two-dimensional plane figures. They will gain an understanding that, while area is the amount of space covered by an object, the perimeter is the distance around the outside of a figure. To find the perimeter of an object, students will add up the lengths of all of its sides, following the equation a+b+a+b. Each pair of parallel sides will also have the same length. Another way to figure out perimeter is to multiply side A by two (or double it), do the same with side B, and add up the two totals. Of courses, squares will have all four sides equal, so one side can be multiplied by four to find the perimeter (or added four times). Students may be given the perimeter of a square and have to figure out the length of one of its sides, in which case, they would divide the perimeter by 4. They may also be given the perimeter of a rectangle and one of its sides and be asked to find the value of the missing side (not parallel to the given side).
