Middle School ELA

Class Description

This all encompassing English Language Arts course welcomes students of all skill levels to explore literature and writing as one of the most basic forms of human entertainment--story telling. 

Why do we tell stories?  Who hears them? How can we become better story tellers? Do stories matter?

Novels this year will include, but not be limited to The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson, and The Giver by Lois Lowry, as well poems, Manga, and selected other works.

In this year long course students work to become more active readers as we explore novels, ask questions, and search out answers. All reading materials can be found as audio recordings as well to meet the differentiated reading skills of the class; in a similar fashion all writing assignments are leveled to meet students current skill sets and allow development and advancement to happen on an individual level. 

At the end of the year each student will be provided with a summary of the year as well as a personalized write-up.
