Students work with articles, short stories and texts to develop critical reading skills such as sequencing, summarizing, compare and contrast, fact and opinion, and cause and effect and ELA content such as poetry elements of literature, author style and viewpoint, and literature language. In addition, students participate in several Socratic Discussions where they practice active listening and speaking skills.

Students also write, memorize and recite quotes and poems. Finally, students will work with words and improve their vocabulary using Membean, a comprehensive vocabulary site that I can't praise enough!
