Engage NY ELA Modules: Sixth grade will continue to implement the NYS modules in ELA. These modules contain curriculum that will help our students meet the Common Core Standards. The New York State Department of Education recommends the implementation of these modules. The modules will be taught throughout the year on a daily basis for 40 - 80 minutes, per day, for each class. The ELA module promotes collaboration, close reading of complex texts and using the text to support both verbal and written answers. We will complete four modules over the course of the year. Each Module can take up to ten weeks. The Modules are split into two - three units and all share a common theme.
