Assignment Calendar
Course Description
This term in Language Arts, we will be honing our persuasive writing skills by learning how to make strong claims and support them with relevant evidence. We will reinforce our grammar skills through mini-lessons and Daily Oral Language activities, as well as through learning how to effectively edit our own writing pieces. In literature, we will be studying the award-winning novel Return to Sender by Julia Alvarez, along with related shorter texts from a variety of genres. Vocabulary lessons will be drawn not only from our classroom texts, but also from our Classical Roots workbooks. We will also be improving our speaking and listening skills by completing activities on Listenwise and engaging in small group and whole group discussions and debates.
