Welcome to 6th Grade ELA! In this course, students will build essential reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills through a variety of engaging texts—including fiction, nonfiction, poetry, drama, and novels.

Throughout the year, students will read both short texts and full-length novels, participate in discussions, and complete projects that help them grow as confident, thoughtful communicators.

Let’s get ready to read, write, and grow together!

The grading scale comprises of the following categories and weightings:
Assignments    40 points
Quiz                  30
Test                   20
Participation   10

Please make the necessary effort to submit all work on time. This practice will prevent you from losing 10% daily for late submissions.
