LCY0100 / LCY0200 / LCY0300 ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS GRADE 6 / 7 / 8
These courses emphasize and integrate reading, writing, speaking, and listening with language and with both informational and literary texts. Reading, writing, and oral communication processes are experienced as interrelated and interactive processes operating in meaning-rich contexts. The study of literature engages students in selections that span time and cultures and present universal themes that relate to their lives and the lives of others. Primary emphasis is on the personal, interpretive, and critical response of the reader in the construction of meaning.
