Academic Course in English
The Middle School English Program develops students' skills in a variety of ways. During the three-year program, students read a diverse selection of literature, including novels, short stories, poetry, plays, and biographies. As students progress from one grade level to the next, they develop a more thorough understanding of the complexities of the elements of literature (plot, character development, themes, etc.) They develop their analytical abilities by applying a wide range of strategies to comprehend, interpret, evaluate, and appreciate texts.
Students use the writing process and develop writing skills through exploring a variety of genres: expository, narrative, descriptive, persuasive, and critical (i.e. responding to literature). Projects, speeches, skits, debates, and regular group discussions develop speaking and listening skills. Grammar and usage concepts become more complex each year, and vocabulary study is derived from literature.
