My Current Courses
In sixth grade Reading, we tackle a variety of Units of Study throughout the three trimesters. The outline below provides a quick summary of each module.
Fiction
At the beginning of the year, we will review literary vocabulary that readers use when writing or discussing literature. We then move into a deep study of character, focusing on describing characters based on their character traits and motivations. We also review and practice writing Text Dependent Analysis using evidence to support our thinking.
Nonfiction
Nonfiction
In this unit, we will focus on the differences between fiction and nonfiction reading. We will learn how using main ideas and details can help us learn new information and make sense of our learning. Students will have an opportunity to continue honing their Text Dependent Analysis skills in this unit as well.
Book Clubs
Book Clubs
By the end of the year, students are ready to practice the skill of discussing their reading. Students will choose from a selection of books, and will read and discuss those books.
