Reading and Writing for Middle School
This course focuses on the appropriate grade-level development of students’ reading, writing, speaking and listening skills. Students in this course will be exposed to a range of texts (after input from the students), and will learn how to analyze these works for meaning and purpose. They will also learn how to write effective sentences, paragraphs and essays, using proper grammar and syntax, and will practice their critical thinking and communication skills through class discussions and projects. Through engaging lessons and challenging assignments, a language arts course will help students build a strong foundation in language and literacy, and will prepare them for success in high school and beyond. In the final week, students will work with the teacher on their personal summer reading book from their school, analyzing the text and getting a great head start on any summer reading assignment.
Reading and Writing for High School
This course focuses on the study and analysis of literature, composition, and language. Students will read a variety of texts, including novels, poems, plays and short stories, and will learn how to analyze these works for themes, symbols and other literary elements. They will also learn how to write effective essays, using proper grammar and syntax, and will practice their critical thinking and communication skills. In the final week, students will work with the teacher on their personal summer reading book from their school, analyzing the text and getting a great head start on any summer reading assignment.
Course requirements:
This course combines the fundamentals of Advanced Arithmetic and Prealgebra to help prepare students for the challenge of Algebra I, Algebra II and beyond.
