Our ELA coursework focuses on Annotated Reading, Applied Grammar, Building Paragraphs, and culminates with a Final Project.
- As you read The Giver, analyze the impact of characterization, word choice, and author’s point of view. Acquire new vocabulary using context clues and apply your knowledge of new note-taking techniques.
- Dive deep into the contrast between independent and dependent clauses. Learn how to clean up run-on sentences and properly combine multiple clauses.
- Practice the principle of unity between paragraphs and develop smooth transitions between narrative sections. Revisit expository paragraphs with a touch of descriptive language.
- Write a literary response of your own, beginning with an outline and mapping ideas onto narrative text. Strengthen your stance and revise your response with an editing exercise.
