Language Arts/Literature

The middle school language curriculum is divided into three different areas. The level of difficulty increases as they progress from 6th through 8th grade.

Literature – This encompasses reading novels, sections of novels, and short stories.  We read a variety of genres in class from informational to fictional.  Students also read books of their choice independently and are assigned reports.

Language –  This entails punctuation, grammar, and writing papers.  Papers vary by grade but are not limited to research papers, book reports, dialogues, and essays.

Vocabulary- This part involves learning new vocabulary words, spelling, and Greek and Latin roots.
