7 Literature

Literature

7th Grade Literature will feature the class nove study of six novels over the course of the school year

The novels we will read in class this school year are listed below. The link will take you to the GoodReads summary page for each novel. I encourage you to read the summaries of these novels. These novels teach outstanding lessons, foster imagination, and encourage creativity. 

• The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster

• A Wrinkle In Time by  Madeleine L'Engle

• My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George 

• A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

• Crispin: The Cross of Lead by Avi

• Touching Spirit Bear by Ben Mikaelsen

In addition to in-class novels, students will also select and read novels outside of class and complete quarterly projects using the information they gained from their reading. This is called the Independent Reading Project.
