Students will do
research projects and
some creative group
and individual projects.
Since Mr. Curry has taught classes
which have won awards for
multimedia projects, we can look
forward to an awesome experience!
The focus will be on continuing the
development of phonemic awareness,
reading comprehension and critical
thinking skills.
We will use the Holt Language Arts program. The
Literature book has some outstanding stories and skills
instruction.
Students will be also challenged to read
books at their instructional level but which
also become more challenging as they
progress during the year. Book reports will
be done for each trimester.
The typical weekly expectation is that
students will read the selection,
answer the increasingly more difficult
“Response” questions and write a
minimum 1 paragraph (5 quality
sentences) summary of the selection.
That is followed by taking the
QuizLab test for the selection and
doing any skills practice work that is
assigned. Students are to have a
novel to read every day.
