 Course Description: Join us as we use this 7th grade year to lay a foundation in preparing for high school English. Together as a class, we will analyze and annotate classic literature and identify various literary devices as we read great books, poetry, and drama. By the end of the year, students will be proficient in analyzing literature and identifying author’s purpose. There will be a heavy concentration on grammar concepts to improve communication skills in writing and speaking. Picking up new vocabulary from the literature will also encourage better writers and communicators. Students will be introduced to Literary Analysis, where they will write essays of varying lengths based on the class literature that will explain the author’s purpose of using devices such as figurative language and more. There will be a light research paper, and students will learn the steps to write a quality argumentative essay, incorporating text evidence with parenthetical citing. Writing with strong Christian character and integrity will be encouraged. Students will give various presentations to the class and will be expected to participate in class discussions.
