Course Description: Join us as we use this 7th grade year to lay a foundation in preparing for high school English. Together as a class, we will analyze and annotate literature and identify various literary devices as we read 3 Classics, poetry, and drama. By the end of the year, students will be proficient in annotating poetry and identifying author’s purpose. 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 integrate IEW Structure and Style writing techniques while we read The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe. Writing will then shift into various essays, such as narrative, descriptive, expository, argumentative, and creative. There will be a light research paper, and students will write alongside the literature being read, incorporating text evidence with parenthetical citing. 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.
