7 ELA PreAP

Teacher Voice

We have a unit every three weeks that we cover essential TEKS for 7th grade English Language Arts: fiction, poetry, informational and argumentative. Classes integrate reading and writing using the "I do, We do, You Do method". A typical week in an ELA classroom would involve mini-lessons and practice, writings and projects, and focusing on personalized learning. Students will work on various writing pieces such as fiction stories, informational essays, narrative nonfiction, and quick write pieces throughout the year.

PreAP ELA will cover more advanced and mature topics. As a class the work will be more independently guided and facilitated by the teacher. Students can have more freedom to choose the way in which they want to demonstrate the material they are learning. The Pre AP student is self-motivated and academically driven.
