English Language Arts (ELA)
Sixth Grade English Language Arts encourages students to reflect on the power of the individual. Students will look inward as they reflect on their own lives, writing about powerful narrative moments that have helped shape the person they are today.
Seventh Grade English Languages Arts offers a wide variety of units that focus on examining society and how it influences who we are as individuals. The units of study for the school year include but are not limited to poetry and creative writing, dystopian literature, memoir and storytelling, and propaganda and persuasion with an emphasis on student selected texts.
Eighth Grade English Language Arts encourages students to examine themselves, their society, and most importantly, the role they play within the world. Students will analyze text through personal reflection, small group discussion, and whole class activities.
