Assignments:
Students should have an independent reading book at all times, throughout the year, and should be reading for a minimum of 15-20 minutes every day. This year, students will be working on narrative writing, literary writing, and informational writing.
Goals & Philosophy:
This year in 7th Grade ELA, students will develop literacy skills in reading, writing, speaking and communication. Students will critically analyze texts throughout the year, including literature, poems, songs, film and art. Additionally, students will also practice skills and strategies for writing, such as narrative, informational, literary, and more. Our classroom community will be one in which we engage in collaborative, academic discussions in a safe space. Ultimately, I wish for my students to challenge themselves, become more self-aware, and make both personal and real-world connections that help enhance their overall learning process and as emerging readers, writers, and future contributors to the world.
