Welcome to 7th grade English. Our goals for this year are to become critical thinkers, world-class collaborators, and exceptional writers. We will be honing our reading, writing, listening, speaking, and language skills through a wide variety of texts and activities.
The novels we may read as a class are: The Giver, Hero, Don't Look Behind You, and Out of the Dust. Students will check out class novels from our campus Media Space. We will also be reading other fiction and informational texts. You will be expected to analyze what you read and discuss your understanding with your classmates.
We will also have grammar, Latin stems, vocabulary, and independent reading. This is going to be a very exciting year, and I can’t wait to learn with you!
Materials and websites we will use for this course include, but are not limited to:
