Our English Language Arts curriculum focuses on nonfiction informational and literature text analysis, close reading, and the art of answering text-dependent questions (evidence-based questions).
Lessons are designed around the 6th grade Common Core State Standards, that focus on Reading (Literature and Informational Text), Writing, Speaking & Listening, and Language.
The Common Core standards can be found here.
We usually focus on one or two key standards a week. It begins with an introduction and lesson of the standard, an analysis and application in an informational or literature text, and a formative quiz at the end of the week. Standards are spiraled back during the course of the year as review.
