Welcome to 7th grade Language Arts! I am excited to work with you this year! We will be exploring the world of literacy one text at a time.
This year you will experience many different forms of literacy, from novels to plays and short stories. You will be exposed to many different types of texts throughout the year. We will be analyzing these literary works and focusing on picking out text evidence as well.
We will use the literary works we read to create short and long writing pieces. We will experiment with many different types of writing, as well as different writing styles. You will have an opportunity to be creative with your writing as well.
In addition to reading and writing, we will focus on increasing your vocabulary and grammatical knowledge. Deeper knowledge of vocabulary and grammatical structures will help you better develop your writing and comprehend what you are reading.
You should bring the following items to class everyday: 2 pens or pencils, a notebook (journal), a folder, and your planner.
