6th Grade Language Arts

- Grammar
- The text used is “Sadlier: Grammar for Writing.” There is a book that corresponds to each grade level. Each sequential book then builds on the concepts that were taught in the previous year.
- Vocabulary
- The students will continue learning vocabulary through the Sadlier-Oxford program and use academic vocabulary from their other studies.
- Writing
- The best way for students to become better writers is to practice! To help facilitate this, the students will get a new journal prompt every other week. These “Journal Writes” are meant to encourage students’ creativity and give them practice writing. Once a month, there will be journal checks to ensure that the students are writing. Once a quarter, the students will be assigned to type up a Journal Write from the quarter. At this time, the students will have to opportunity to revise and edit their writing before it is graded formally.
- Along with the Journal Writes, there will also be various writing projects throughout the year. I aim for one “major” writing assignment a quarter for grades 6 and 7.
- Students must use MLA formatting for all writing assignments. (Unless otherwise stated.)
