Throughout the Year
Vocabulary and Spelling: We will be working with Greek & Latin Roots, Suffixes and Prefixes. Vocabulary quizzes will happen throughout the year, but there will not be spelling tests.
Grammar: Mini lessons will happen each week and will be incorporated into writing instruction.
Writing: Writing is a key aspect of ELA. We will write daily, and writing throughout the year will include narratives, informational/expository, and argumentative/research.
Notebooks: Seventh and eighth grade will both keep a digital ELA notebook this year. Eighth grade will need an additional composition or spiral notebook for independent reading.
