2nd Semester Goals & Expectations
Welcome to second semester of ELA 6th grade! I am happy to have you return to my class, and welcome to all new students. I look forward to working with each and everyone of you. Throughout this 22-23 year, students will study universal themes presented through variety of literary genres, including the novel, the short stories, and non-fiction. Resources will provided to students, either via online documents, or classroom handouts. Students will continue their study of grammar and mechanics, parts of speech, and spelling, with particular emphasis on applying grammar rules in their writing. A variety of writing assignments will allow students to expand their thinking through composition, exploring the ideas of writers and their reactions to those ideas.
