English Language Arts: 6th, 7th, and 8th Grade
Writing:
Each grade will follow the Writer's Workshop model and explore many different writing/literary genres this year. Some of these include descriptive, narrative, expository, persuasive, poetry, and more. During each genre unit we will analyze and study mentor texts that will help guide students when they begin writing. We will also learn how to organize an essay and practice writing stamina with Quick Writes.
Grammar:
Grades 6th, 7th, and 8th use the online English program, NoRedInk for all grammar skill study. NoRedInk provides skill practice directly aligned to the Illinois Common Core State Standards and allows students to practice skills to mastery level.
