7
The primary purpose of 7th grade English is to establish a
foundation for critical analysis of literature, and to compose coherent,
logical paragraphs leading to formal, multiple paragraph essay
construction. Additionally, students will continue to develop speech
and discussion techniques, grammar, listening, and organizational
skills, and vocabulary. To accomplish this, students will read from a
variety of literary selections (see reading list), analyze these works,
develop original theses, and share their ideas in formal compositions,
class discussions, and oral presentations.
Reading Choices (minimum 4): The Lottery Rose,
Walkabout, Hound of Baskervilles, Dragonsong, Brian’s Song, The Light in
the Forest, The Call of the Wild, Nothing but the Truth
7th Grade Enrichment
(After School)
The primary purpose of this extension to the
regular English 7 class (not a separate course) is to provide all
students who possess a keen interest in language and/or literature an
opportunity to deepen their comprehension, exploration, and appreciation
of the English language and its literature. Students will read
selections from a separate list (see reading list below), compose
additional literary written responses, and develop an individualized
project. While most of this work is completed independently, regular
discussion with the instructor is required. All work will be graded and
averaged in with students’ class grade.
Reading Choices: (1 each nine weeks) Downriver,
Summer of my German Soldier, The Red Pony, The Moves Make the Man, Dove,
House on Mango Street, Dandelion Wine.
