6th Grade ELA Class

REGISTER
This year-long, online class builds writing stamina and analytical reading skills over two semesters. Using literature as our backbone for ELA learning, we read four books together - two in the fall and two in the spring - where students will learn how to identify character traits, new vocabulary, identify figurative language, and plot structure. They will also learn about research, plagiarism, poetry, and critical thinking skills. Participants of the class will demonstrate their learning through various writing pieces, review games, a book project, and two class presentations. Our class follows the CA. 6th grade ELA standards in reading, writing, speaking/listening, and some grammar (as it pertains to writing)*.
We grade all class assignments unless parent requests otherwise. 

If grammar and spelling are areas your student needs extra help in, we recommend getting a supplemental curriculum to use alongside our class.

Parent's Role In The Class:
