Units of Study

Current Unit:

Students are reading various short stories analyzing the essential question: is the truth the same for everyone? We will use these short stories to develop writing and literature analysis skills.

Expectations and Grading:

Throughout the year students will continue to develop reading comprehension, analysis, writing, and critical thinking skills. We will look at how literature is a mirror for society through various types of literature. Should a student not meet proficiency on a writing assignment, he/she may rewrite to demonstrate proficiency. All assignments will be given a point value, there are no weighted categories in ELA. At the end of the trimester, points earned divided by points possible determines the final grade. There will be extra credit opportunities each trimester. However, no extensions or individual extra credit will be given.
