English Language Arts

In seventh and eighth grade English Language Arts (ELA), students will read a variety of different texts, focusing on theme and structure. Students will write narrative, argumentative, and informative texts and improve their research skills throughout the year. To build their speaking and listening skills, students will engage in discussions with small groups and their whole class. The goal of ELA and Social Studies is to enable our students to discuss, read, and interpret across the curriculum. Projects, one-pagers, and discussion drive the instruction.
