English Language Arts Overview
At the sixth-grade level, English Language Arts builds upon students’ prior knowledge of grammar, vocabulary, word usage, and the mechanics of writing. This class emphasizes the development and growth of different types of writing—Informative, Argumentative, and Narrative—in which the organization and style align with the task, purpose, and audience. Students will seek to understand perspectives and cultures by reading a variety of informational texts. Additionally, students will build their vocabulary by learning 250 Greek/Latin root stems. The development and mastery of these important literary skills not only is important to achieving success in the ELA classroom, it is a critical component of achieving success in other school subjects, building strong relationships with others, and attaining a flourishing career as an adult. Basically, the quality of life you experience now through adulthood will depend a lot on how well you read, write, and communicate with others.
