Abstract of Course Expectations

The focal point of the English Language Arts class is to develop reading, vocabulary, spelling, and writing skills. In addition to these important skills, we will be learning how to analytically and critically think within the framework of the class material, which will help them develop how to tackle complicated issues. Students will read and analyze different texts from the following time periods: Colonial and Early National, Romantic, Realism and Naturalism, Modernist, and Contemporary. Our learning target is to not only engage in the magic of reading, vocabulary, spelling, and writing, but to be engrossed with the Florida B.E.S.T Standards.
