Communication Plan (for students and parents)
This English 7 language arts course will focus on the following three elements: Reading and Viewing, Speaking and Listening, and Writing and Other Ways of Representing. We will discover and develop an appreciation for all three elements while taking part in a variety of lessons based on unit themes. Students will share, create, imagine and collaborate while having the opportunity to develop knowledge through the mediums of all learning styles (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, tactile, etc.). Each month we will embark on a new course theme. Each theme will have a key topic to discover and develop, whether it be the creation of a short story, collaborating with others to develop a marketed advertisement or building confidence for public speaking in a mock presidential speech). Most lessons will be outlined on the class website so that parents may have access to their child's learning and classroom experiences.
