ELA Honors 6th Grade

Course Overview

Reading Workshop

Students will read during class as well as outside of school. We encourage families to share books and read together! We will learn skills and strategies to deepen our comprehension, sharpen our critical thinking, and refine our conversations about what we read.

Writing Workshop

Students will maintain a writer's notebook all year. Our focus will be polishing and enhancing our craft through writing, sharing, and publishing during class.
