    English Language Arts: Into Reading

    In this module, students will listen to, read, and view a variety of texts and media that present them with information about our identities.

    A genre focus on different kinds of stories provides students with opportunities to identify point of view and recognize figurative language in order to better understand unfamiliar texts. Students will also encounter a photo essay and narrative poetry to build knowledge across genres.

    As students build their vocabulary and synthesize topic knowledge, they will learn that our identities are shaped through our experiences, personal interests, and passions.

     
     
    *Students will be taught the guidelines of the Reading Workshop.  Students will learn to discuss their stories and work independently and in groups.
