Course Description:
Join us in 6th grade English as we read Great Books and study various literary devices. The books were carefully chosen, as they bring about insightful and meaningful discussions in a supportive classroom setting. As we learn to appreciate language as a gift from God, there will be a heavy concentration on grammar concepts to improve communication skills in writing and speaking. Most of our writing will come from the literature we read together as students are taught beginning literary analysis. When we’re not focused on literature analysis, students will have an opportunity to write creatively from pictures, poetry, and will be taught how to write descriptively using imagery. Additionally, students will write a brief narrative and will end the year with a light research report to compose a persuasive essay. Writing with strong Christian character and integrity will be encouraged. Students will give a presentation to the class and will be expected to participate in class discussions.
