English

Seventh grade English challenges students to build skills in grammar, vocabulary, sentence structure, and punctuation. These skills are reinforced in writing assignments that help students practice organization and development of thesis statements, topic sentences, and supporting details.
The literature has been selected to correspond with the social studies course. Students are encouraged to read critically with an appreciation of the author’s artistry as well as a discernment of the theme of the text. Students will also be expected to develop oral presentation skills. Students often bring a passion for reading, writing, and discussion. This energy and enthusiasm is encouraged and contagious.
