Roseville High School juniors taking CP English 11 will no longer complete the Junior Research Project. The move comes after the shift to Common Core encouraged a curriculum partially focused on research-based work, rendering it invaluable in a course curriculum that accomplishes similar goals.

College Preparatory English 11 students were required to complete the project, which was aimed at improving research skills for future college courses.

“There’s a lot of different ways we’re already meeting those standards,” RHS English department co-chair Denise Weis said. “And the JRP didn’t quite fit our needs anymore the way it had been traditionally set up.”

Junior Andrew Fardanesh saw the project as an unnecessary use of class time, as the skills practiced grew more outdated with each year.

“I think it was taking up too much time and students weren’t getting a lot out of it,” Fardanesh said.
