Mrs. Thiele's ELA

Welcome to the 6th Grade ELA!
 
This class is a continuation of communication in students’ first/new language, with further reading, listening, writing and speaking development. The formal skills of writing, reading, vocabulary and grammar will progress along the lines of interesting contexts, everyday situations, and a variety of material. This course allows students to review, learn and apply academic knowledge and skills to a variety of interesting and relevant activities and settings.
Throughout this school year we will focus on building foundations for Reading and Writing process, will analyze Fiction, Poetry, Drama, Informational, Argumentative and Literary Nonfiction texts. We will analyze texts across genres, and will work on research project closer to the end of the school year.
Students will use their notebook for new materials, note taking and reflections.
