The curriculum will foster a learning environment using Lead4Ward techniques to encourage students to analyze and infer a deeper meaning while reading across genres. Students will read a wide variety of literary and informative texts, compose a variety of well-organized and detailed texts, listen to others and contribute their own ideas in groups, and learn and apply the standards of English in speaking and writing. Students will be expected to successfully complete a variety of assessments including versatile writing and choice board projects.
