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 de- velop 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 stu- dents, student-to-self, and peer-to-peer assessments will serve as constant bench- marks that facilitate the higher-order, problem solving and collaborative skills re- quired to meet academic and career expectations for years to come.

Language 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 read- ing 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 uni- versal 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, the will be able to see how these different things con- nect 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 as- sessments that require critical thinking skills and that meet rigorous academic ex- pectations. 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.
