Our seventh grade language arts program offers our students a rich curriculum for both reading and writing. Developing life-long skills in both reading and writing allows all of our students to work successfully towards their personal learning goals while mastering grade-level standards. Timely feedback on relevant assessments allows for rigorous tasks that propel all students.
We will write from our three writing genres: argumentative, informative/explanatory, and narrative. The first trimester will lend itself towards informative/explanatory writing which will combine practices with our class noel. The second trimester will encompass argumentative writing. Closing out the third trimester with narrative writing, students will continue to develop their skills with dialogue, characterization, scene setting development, and their mastery of plot maps.
Whole-class novel studies will allow for many literary class discussions, Socratic seminars, and textual connections. This is sure to be a huge year of academic growth and learning.
