Language Arts

This week, students in both Language Arts and Advanced Language Arts will focus on crafting expository essays. Advanced Language Arts will respond to the question: "How do we evolve during the course of a journey?" while Language Arts will explore: "Why do we take chances?" Students will support their responses with textual evidence from three passages read and discussed in class, honing their analytical and writing skills.

In addition, students will complete the district nonfiction assessment, broken into four sections. To ensure focus, they will work on 1-2 sections each day.
