Language Arts, Grade 7 instruction emphasizes self-selected reading in a variety of genres, creating compositions for a wide variety of purposes, and integrating inquiry and cultural relevance in a two-period block of instruction. Driven by the study of author’s purpose and craft, foundational language skills are developed within the context of reading and writing. Students will engage in a deep study into text structure throughout the year, including ways readers use structure to navigate texts, and writers design structures to strengthen purpose.
