One of the primary goals of this class is to prepare students for high school. With that in mind, students will read and study a wide variety of fiction and informational texts. They will also be continuing to develop their vocabulary, grammar and writing skills.
Novels will always be available to students in online or hard copy versions. However, you might prefer to purchase your own copy so that you can annotate it. A few weeks before we begin each text, I will post announcements in Google Classroom, the Remind app, and this website so that you will have plenty of time to order the book if you wish to do so.
