English 7
English/Language Arts 7 incorporates five aspects of language arts: reading, writing, speaking, listening, and viewing. Study of genres leads to written compositions that build upon students’ prior knowledge of grammar, vocabulary, word usage, and mechanics. Beyond emphasizing different uses for language, these courses may also include using language (particularly written text) to construct meaning and connections.
English 6 GT
English/Language Arts 7 incorporates five aspects of language arts: reading, writing, speaking, listening, and viewing. Study of genres leads to written compositions that build upon students’ prior knowledge of grammar, vocabulary, word usage, and mechanics. Beyond emphasizing different uses for language, these courses may also include using language (particularly written text) to construct meaning and connections. The GT courses prepare students for advanced course work and engage students in enrichment opportunities. Rigor is demonstrated through sophistication and acceleration in terms of thought-provoking learning activities, challenging assessments, and more complex text/materials. Diverse interests, cultures, perspectives, learning styles, and intelligences are cultivated and higher level critical and creative thinking skills such as interpretation, problem solving, investigation, and logic are emphasized.
Science 7
7th Grade Science courses include subject matter from several strands of science, including earth/space sciences, physical sciences, and life sciences, and are organized around conceptual units. Specific content depends upon Colorado Academic Standards for middle school.
