Class Info

English 6-8

The upper school students are exposed to many aspects of the English language during class. All of my classes will explore vocabulary and grammar concepts throughout the entire year. The vocabulary this year will draw mainly from Latin and Greek roots and will be practiced weekly. From creative narratives to more complex research papers, students will be exposed to numerous types of writing styles.

All of the English classes will be using the Holt, Rinehart, Winston Elements of Language books accompanied by Winston Grammar cards.
