English Language Arts

English/Language Arts Units of Study, Grades 6-12

The middle school and high school English/Language Arts classroom is a place to sharpen written and spoken communication skills for a variety of audiences as well as read for deep comprehension and enjoyment. Students read whole-class novels, engage in book clubs, and are encouraged to read independently throughout the year in different genres. Classroom libraries and the media center are both critical in helping students find their interests as lifelong readers. Through the study of literature both classic and modern, students gain reading skills and a wider perspective of their world.
