Throughout the year, we will be reading various forms of literature, including a novel, non-fiction articles, informative passages, short stories, poems, and perhaps an occasional Readers’ Theater play. Much of the work will be done in class, although occasionally, students will be expected to complete some work at home, and sometimes on the computer (Accommodations can be made for those without a computer at home). Additionally, students will learn about and complete numerous writing assignments; paragraphs, essays, poems, journals and creative projects will be required this year. Assignments and projects will be created by combining areas of study, literacy terms, technology, research, and writing skills and strategies. Independent reading will be expected continuously, with pertinent writing assignments being given on a regular basis. Learning to work collaboratively is essential, so group/partners work will be a routine occurrence. The focus will be balanced literacy: reading complex texts, writing from & about complex texts and speaking and listening about complex texts.
