Dear Parents and Guardians,
Welcome to Bridgewater-Raritan Middle School. It is my pleasure to be working with you and your child during this pivotal seventh-grade year in Language Arts.
Seventh grade Language Arts is designed to motivate students to read, write, think, and discuss literature and informational texts intelligently. Our LAL units review and reinforce effective reading and writing strategies while exploring many types of texts. Students will study, read, and write fiction (including novels, short stories, historical fiction, and science fiction) and non-fiction (including personal narrative, analytical essays, argument writing, scientific, and informational articles). Students will demonstrate their knowledge through many types of assessments including essays, projects, Socratic seminars, multimedia presentations, writing portfolios, and book reviews. Our curriculum provides a variety of different ways for students to express themselves and develop their voices. I can’t wait to hear what your child has to share!
The best way to contact me is by email at [email protected]. Often a quick conversation or email can clear up any confusion and keep lines of communication open. Again, I am excited to have a productive and positive year of learning with your child. I look forward to meeting you at Back-to-School Night and working together towards our common goal of the academic growth of your child.
Sincerely,
Megan Alloway
