Course Description: Join us in 6th grade English as we read Great Books and study various literary devices and vocabulary. As we learn to appreciate language as a gift from God, there will be a heavy concentration on grammar concepts to improve communication skills in writing and speaking. Picking up new vocabulary from the literature will also encourage better writers and communicators. We will start the year off with IEW Structure and Style writing techniques as we read The Magician’s Nephew together. Our writing will then include a personal narrative, newspaper editorial, light research reports, compare/contrast essay, poetry, and other genres, including creative stories. Writing with strong Christian character and integrity will be encouraged. Students will give various presentations to the class and will be expected to participate in class discussions.
