Welcome to ELA 2019! This will be a fantastic curriculum for my students as we embark on a journey through resources, expository writing, and drama and poetry to finish a milestone year. In class, we will be building on the argumentative unit with a knowledge of resources and how to conduct research. We will then establish an understanding of the most common types of Expository writing and finish off with the poetry and drama unit undertaking the long awaited Shakespeare play Julius Caesar. I hope to help build a better understanding of grammar, vocabulary, and Greek/Latin roots with my students as well as create confidence in the different types of writing. The 6th grade ELA will be continuing with our student choice board reading assignments every nine weeks accompanied by a monthly reading Log that measures pages rather than the previous minutes. Please let me know if you have any questions via email at any point during the semester and I will get back with you as soon as I am able.
May you all have joyous New Year filled with love, laughter, and forever learning!
