SVGS ConNEXTion – September, 2008 Page 2
Academic ConNEXTions:
The Arts ConNEXTions
Humanities I: Juniors are writing their first major essay of the year. This assignment (Process Analysis) requires
students to break a complicated process into digestible steps. They learn about the rhetorical situation and focus on
writing to a specific audience. In our second major paper, students will write about a controversial issue. This
assignment requires students to learn and practice the basics of research and citation in order to present background
information and present the various positions that may be taken. Students will make use of the online libraries at
Questia.com and BRCC.
Humanities II: Seniors are writing college/scholarship/personal statement essays and are studying British literature.
Right now, we’re reading selections from the Anglo-Saxon period and comparing heroic figures across a range of
texts. Dual enrollment students will be using technology, writing, and music to enhance future understanding of
humanities topics.
Art History - Students have been discussing different theories and approaches to the study of art history. They have
been learning about biases authors of art history may have and terminology art historians use. Students are
beginning their study of specific time periods, starting with art from the Ancient Near East. Part of their project
work for this unit will be a video of a mock newscast about events taking place during this era. Upcoming topics
will include Prehistoric Art and art of Ancient Greece.
Art Concepts and Criticism - Students have begun their work in art appreciation by attempting to answer the
question: What is art? They have investigated their own opinions on the nature of art and have used this to develop
a personal rating system for evaluating pieces of artwork. Students have also explored the difference between
looking at art from the western tradition and looking at non-western art. The culmination of this unit will be video
that will include personal commentary and interviews with their peers and/or adults. Upcoming topics include
introductory study of various non-western cultures and their art, focusing, initially on African and Native American
art.
Studio Art I - Students have been working on basic skill development in drawing and design. Students have also had
the opportunity to take headshots and learn basic skills in digital image manipulation with Photoshop. In the
upcoming weeks students will continue skill development focused on direct observation with a variety of media and
techniques.
Studio Art II - Students have been narrowing down their topics for their year-long concentration projects. Each
student has an individual conference with the instructor at the beginning of the year to discuss ideas. In the next
few weeks they will be completing preliminary research and project idea sketches in preparation for their first
completed project. The students have also begun their first regular studio projects focused on a specific element and
principle of design, in addition to preliminary exercises in color theory.
Craft and Skills - Juniors are taking topics in either stained glass, with Lisa Morrison, or watercolor with Margot
Bergman. Seniors chose between printmaking, taught by Dymph De Wild or an introduction to the software
program, Illustrator, taught by Erin Smith.
Theatre Arts News: We are pleased to welcome 13 new students who join our returning seniors for 2008-09.
A recent collaboration agreement has been made with ShenanArts’ Stage 4 Theatre to produce our first show this
year, The King and I, which will run for two weekends, January 16-18 and 23-25.
We have enjoyed the visits from former TA students already this year, so far including Blair Wingfield and Hunter
Copeland. At our SVGS reunion we were happy to see Hannah von Oeyen and Becca Van Cleave.
Three TA students have been given the opportunity to observe the making of an FBI training film being shot next
week in Northern Virginia. It is being produced as an instructional film on ethics for the FBI academy. Mr. Van
Cleave is cast in one of the scenes as a retired FBI agent.
Theatre Foundations - These first few weeks, the juniors have worked with Greek theatre readings of Antigone by
Sophocles while seniors (in Theory & Critique) have worked with Lysistrata by Aristophanes. All students have
already memorized and explored selected lines from these scripts.
Acting – Students continue their research and practical work with Stanislavski’s technique as well as explorative
exercises in Acting I & II.

Craft and Skills - The first adjunct teachers working with our students are Diane Stewart who is mentoring our
seniors in directing skills and Brooke Driver who is teaching our first year students dance. We have worked out an
arrangement with Kim Field at Valley Dance Theatre to hold future dance classes in their state of the art facilities.
The Sciences ConNEXTions
Advanced Technology: We started the year producing both audio and video podcasts. The class used GarageBand
for the audio podcast and iMovie to make the video. The class is now working with two of the drawing packages in
the new Adobe CS3 suite, Illustrator and Fireworks. These will be used later to create images for web pages created
in Dreamweaver and animations with Flash. The podcast knowledge can be used in any of the other classes to
prepare content specific instruction.
AP Calculus: Currently the class is studying how to calculate the limit of a function from four different perspectives:
1) x-y tables, 2) visually inspecting the graph of functions, 3) limit laws, and 4) the definition of a limit. We will
read a small portion of Newton’s Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica that describes a limit. As the course
progresses students will understand the central role that limits play in calculus.
AP Computer Science: The class’ studies are currently focused on the object oriented paradigm. If object oriented
programming is implemented well, it offers the ability for code to be reusable. This overarching course concept is
being introduced with Karel J. Robot developed by Prof. Joseph Bergin and his team.
AP Environmental Science: During our first week, students were introduced to the wide range of environmental
problems and opportunities as well as investigating how much impact humans have on the local environment. The
next part of the course invites students to learn more about earth systems, the lithosphere and atmosphere. Students
are beginning work on a major project that will span about 4 weeks, their own versions of “MegaDisaster.”
AP Statistics: The AP Statistics class has been working with technology including the TI89 calculators and statistical
software, JMP (SAS) for descriptive statistics. Upcoming topics will be probability and distributions.
Astrophysics: Students have learned the history and some basic methods behind astronomy and astrophysics.
Students will understand the concepts behind light and how it propagates through space and is seen here on Earth,
special relativity and quantum mechanics and how these will relate to their future studies in astrophysics during the
rest of the semester and the next semester. Students will then learn about optics and telescopes before switching
gears with a detailed study of the solar system before coming back to gaining some prerequisites for the study of
stars, stellar formation and evolution, and, in the case of very massive stars, stellar explosions, topics that students
will learn to appreciate in the next semester.
Calculus: Do you remember taking calculus in college? Your students in dual enrollment calculus have been
wrestling with limits, derivatives, and tangent lines. Resources from the class website include 1) practice
quizzes (e.g., http://www.svgs.k12.va.us/Courses/CalculusIrons/documents/Projects/Equation of a Line.exe ), 2)
Excel spreadsheet activities (e.g., http://www.svgs.k12.va.us/Courses/CalculusIrons/assignments/
Powerpoints/Slopes_Secants.xls ), and 3) web versions of lectures (e.g., http://www.svgs.k12.va.us/Courses/
CalculusIrons/assignments/Powerpoints/Defn_Derivative.htm ), and 4) review sheets (e.g.,
http://www.svgs.k12.va.us/Courses/CalculusIrons/assignments/handouts/Test_1_Review.htm ) As we approach
tests this year, please remind your students to try the review problems, check solutions (which will be shortly before
each test), and ask about any of the review problems which pose difficulty.
Discrete Mathematics: We have started to learn basic set theory and propositional logic. We are using the
mathematics to solve logic puzzles and working on some application related to computer science.
Engineering: SVGS engineering students are off to a solid start. During our first weeks, students completed a timed
team design project, applying basic physics and mathematics concepts and are gaining familiarity with our choice of
engineering rapid-prototyping tools: LEGO Mindstorm™. We will round out the six weeks learning to classify
robots, and begin work on a robotic arm. To achieve this design and other designs in mobile robotics; SVGS
engineers will use ML Computer Aided Design (MLCAD), from concept to design and build. The entire MLCAD
design suite, including rendering software, is free to download at http://LDRAW.org. Email Mr. Kricorian at
kricorian@svgs.k12.va.us if you have questions or concerns.
Environmental Chemistry: The class started the year with an overview examining Earth, Air, Fire and Water. We
are moving into investigating the air we breathe. This provides a familiar place for the class to start. There are
plans for a field trip with the Environmental Science class later in September.
Geospatial Systems: Students are currently using ArcMap to classify data and query information using Boolean
operators. They will soon begin to create databases and implement geo-referencing tools.

SVGS ConNEXTion – September, 2008 Page 4
Modern Physics: After long period of reviewing Classical Physics, particularly mechanics and thermodynamics, we
are starting the first topic of Modern Physics - the Special Theory of Relativity. Students are excited to see how
those greatest physicists, especially Einstein, explored discoveries and developed those ideas that are much beyond
our conventional experience about time, space and motions.
Molecular Biology: Students just finished presentations on different figures from the "Golden Age of Microbiology"
in which they were asked to describe the contributions of the scientist and evaluate the impact of the individual's
contribution--was it an important technological advance and/or did it cause a shift in human understanding of the
natural world? Next week we will begin our study of infectious diseases under the umbrella topic of emerging and
re-emerging diseases. Explorations of the concepts related to infectious diseases will be accompanied by lab work
in which students will learn techniques of culturing and staining bacteria, test antibiotic resistance of bacteria, and
explore practical applications of immunology.
Parents who wish to contact me by email may do so by emailing our director, Ms. Cauley, at cauley@svgs.k12.va.us.
She will forward your email to me, then I will add you to my list of "good" email sources, and you will be able to
email me directly. (Parents who attended Back to School night, and gave me an email address, have already been
added.)
Precalculus: Precalculus has been in full swing as students have reviewed applications of trigonometry
and working with vectors. Topics in class are designed to support mathematics skills needed for success in Physics
and Research.
Research: Students are narrowing in on their research topics. They have just finished up a unit on descriptive
statistics and will be starting a unit on inferential statistics.
Network ConNEXTions
SVGS Webpage: Please check the webpage regularly for calendar updates and other announcements.
www.svgs.k12.va.us. Minutes from the PSAC meetings are linked on the “Parents” page.
Parent ConNEXTions
Parents’ Advisory and Support Committee: The next meeting will be September 15 at 5:30 p.m. Come get
involved! All are welcome. Following the PSAC meeting at 6:30 p.m., Kathy Knowles will once again share her
knowledge about college admissions!
Hosts needed for three Romanian students: We are beginning a new partnership with National College Mihai
Vizeul in Bucharest, Romania. NCMV is considered the top STEM high school in Romania. Three students, two
STEM and one Theatre, will most likely visit in February/March. If interested, please let me know!
Hosts needed for KSA students: We will be looking for host families for 10 Korean students arriving on January 18
for a period of 2 weeks. Let me know if interested! Last year’s host families (including Sauer, Sowers, and
Redifer) can share their experiences!
Fund-raising: The SVGS PSAC decided several years ago that holding bake sales and spaghetti suppers was not for
them! Instead, parents are asked to contribute to a fund which supports students who cannot afford tuition, fees
and expensive field trips and to give small scholarships to exceptionally accomplished seniors. Please donate
whatever amount you can afford. Participation from all of our families is much more important than the
amount donated! If everyone donated at least $10, we’d add almost $2,000 to our account. Donations are
accepted anytime. Checks should be made out to “VVTC/SVGS.”
Staff ConNEXTions:
DisconNEXTions: SVGS sadly said goodbye to John Almarode who decided to work full-time on his PhD in
education at UVA. Thomas O’Neill left us temporarily for a one-year appointment at JMU as Teacher-in-
Residence in the physics department. Marsha Buehner left us for the glories of Augusta County’s central office as
secretary to the Superintendent and Clerk of the School Board. However…
New ConNEXTions: SVGS is gladly welcoming new staff members. Dr. Alf Zhu, a senior physicist at UVA, will
teach Discrete Math and Modern Physics. Janet Hamilton, a JMU biologist, teaches Molecular/Microbiology and

Community ConNEXTions:
Field Trip ConNEXTions:
JMU Field Trip for AH students- A day-long trip to JMU is being planned for early October for all AH students.
The visual arts students will have the opportunity to visit the Madison Art Collection, a hands-on type of
collection, for study of different art history topics and research of specific objects. The trip will also include a visit
to the Institute of Visual Studies and studio and gallery spaces of the School of Art and Art History.
New York Field Trip – Although primarily geared towards students in the Arts, all SVGS students are invited to
participate in a field trip to New York City in the late winter, pending school board approval. Activities will
include visits to various museums, which may include the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Cloisters, the
Museum of Natural History and the Museum of Modern Art. Participants will also visit the observation deck of
the Empire State Building, weather permitting, Times Square, Fifth Avenue, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Little Italy,
and Chinatown and take a 2-hour harbor cruise past the Statue of Liberty and under the Brooklyn Bridge. The trip
will also include at least one Broadway show. Further information and costs will be sent out later this fall.
APES/EnvChem Field Trip: Students in these two classes will go canoeing on the South Fork of the Shenandoah
with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation on September 24.
APES/EnvChem Field Trip: Students in these classes will help second grade students explore the outdoors at
Augusta Springs Wetlands on October 16 as part of an on-going partnership with Headwaters Soil and Water
Conservation District and the U.S. Forest Service.
Korea ConNEXTions: Will Sowers (RELHS), Nick Quillen (WMHS) and Dexter Wimer (BGHS) traveled to Korea
from June 19 to July 2. They stayed one week at Korea Science Academy, and spent a few days with two
different families as well as visiting Seoul during their visit. Anyone interested in hosting KSA students in
January 2009 should contact Mrs. Cauley.
World ConNEXTions:
Literature ConNEXTion: Let them fail! This sounds like bad advice but is actually very sound for parents of gifted
students. June England writes from experience about the necessity of allowing children, particularly gifted ones, to
develop resilience. This can only happen if children experience a lack of success from which they recover! Gifted
children, to whom much comes so easily, rarely have this growth-enhancing experience. England likens this to how
one develops as a sailor – not very well if the seas are always calm. If you children experience “failure” at SVGS or
elsewhere, be supportive, let them know you love them no matter what, AND that THEY must figure out how to
recover from this failure and not repeat the behavior that led to their current situation. If you try to “fix” their
mistake(s) for them, they will not be able to develop resiliency. England, J. 2008. The instruction manuals they
didn’t come with. VAG Newsletter 29 (4), 8.
