Welcome to English Language Arts and Reading! I have a productive and exciting year planned for us. During this course we will cover Key Ideas and Details, Craft and Structure, Vocabulary, Grammar, Literature Analysis, Informational Text and Writing. We will also focus on communication and reflection. We will take time to explore the value of reading and writing in our lives by relating the themes and issues we read and write about to real-life situations, as much as possible. There may be material that we will find challenging throughout the year, but we will work together to overcome any obstacles. By staying positive and working hard every day, each of you will excel in this class. I promise that all of the hard work will pay off and my goal is to provide you with a fun, positive, learning environment.
