Welcome to Language Arts!
The Language Arts curriculum focuses on grammar, writing, literature, and vocabulary to continue students’ development of their ability to communicate and think creatively and critically. Using the 6+1 Traits of Writing curriculum, students refine their written expression through creative and expository pieces, with an emphasis on ideas, voice, organization, argument, and supporting evidence. Students also begin to discover their writer’s voice as they pen tales from their own lives. Study of vocabulary, parts of speech, and sentence patterns further equips students with important tools of communication and thinking. The students analyze different stories (including their own story) while asking what the narratives tell about individuals and society as a whole. Class dialogue and debate, scene enactments, recitations, and personal inquiry through journaling lead students to a deeper level of thought and a sincere engagement with the world of literature and language.
