| Course Description: | |
| English 7th is a one-period literacy course intended for all grade 7 middle school students, except those enrolled in double-period course English 7th/Literacy 7th. The course content focuses on teaching the students skills and strategies for independent reading and writing of grade-level-appropriate texts.
Instruction in each unit of study interrelates reading, writing, oral communication, and language study. Students are provided with multiple opportunities to engage in academic discourse as they question, interpret, extend, and evaluate ideas. The goal of instruction is to support students in becoming independent, strategic, critical readers, writers, listeners, and speakers who communicate effectively in various forms, for various purposes, and for various audiences. Students engage in standards-based lessons that are scaffolded to support a range of reading/writing levels. This course also provides protected time for small group designated English Language Development (dELD) instruction for English learners at all proficiency levels. This small group instruction builds critical language skills into and from the English content and is focused on the CA ELD Standards. | |
