Language Arts
6
The 6th Grade Language Arts Curriculum
integrates literature, vocabulary, writing and grammar
together in a 21st Century setting. The students will be
given the opportunity to create blogs (on-line journals)
where they can log and reflect upon their independent
reading. They will be asked to engage in discussion
forums where they will post their writing for the
teacher and other students enrolled in the course to
view and respond. They will be presented with the
possibility of creating a multimedia report rather than
a traditional research paper. This course will empower
life-long learners- who are actively engaged in their
own learning and take ownership of their scholastic
endeavors.

Language Arts 7
Through this exciting course students
will engage in an interactive, hands-on array of reading
and writing activities designed to enhance and integrate
literacy across all content areas – science, social
studies, math, art and more. Students will develop
effective communication skills through listening,
speaking and writing via activities designed to
strengthen vocabulary, improve grammar, and reinforce
reading comprehension through strategy instruction.
Students will gain a greater
appreciation for literature while recognizing the
application of new life-skills through reading and
writing activities designed to teach and incorporate fun
at the same time. Colorful and interactive activities
will motivate and facilitate better reading and writing
skills to keep students constantly engaged.
Teacher-to-student, student-to-self, and peer-to-peer
assessments will serve as constant benchmarks that
facilitate the higher-order, problem solving and
collaborative skills required to meet academic and
career expectations for years to come.

Arts 8
Students will learn to
read critically with full comprehension across
genres and be able to communicate through effective
writing. As students develop critical reading and
writing skills, they will make important life
connections through the variety of material they
study. Additionally, students will practice
vocabulary, grammar, and listening skills with each
weekly lesson. All material will be connected to a
universal theme for each unit:
Tolerance; Determination;
Social Justice; Times of War; Search for Self; and
Cultural Traditions.
As students encounter a
variety of text structures and multi-media, they
will be able to see how these different things
connect to one large idea and see how these large
ideas connect across other content areas being
studied. Each student will be required to engage in
activities and assessments that require critical
thinking skills and that meet rigorous academic
expectations. As students complete this course,
hopefully they will see the relevance that this
course has in their daily life and future academic
and career goals.
