Middle School Langage Arts Students learn grammar, composition and literature. In Language Arts 6 students learn the parts of speech, subject and predicates, complete sentences, sentence variation, the principal parts of regular and irregular verbs, subject verb agreement, pronoun agreement, usage, capital letters, and punctuation, vocabulary and spelling. In composition they learn descriptive, narrative and expository writing. In literature students learn to analyze short stories, poetry and novels.
In Language Arts 7, students review grammar and continue literary analysis. In composition, students review expository writing and learn persuasive writing.
In Language Arts 8, students demonstrate mastery in grammar and literature. They also learn formal usage, how to write a critical analysis, and how to write a reaction paper. Sixth graders read Tuck Everlasting and Sounder; seventh graders read Bearstone, The Outsiders, and Where the Red Fern Grows; eighth graders read Lord of the Flies, Bless the Beasts and Children, The Pearl and To Kill a Mockingbird.
Former students and achievement tests scores indicate that students are well prepared for high school English classes. |
