Language Arts 6 (Period 5, 6)

Course Description

LANGUAGE ARTS 6/2017.18

In accordance with the California Language Arts Content Standards, this course covers standards-based instruction in vocabulary development, reading comprehension, and written literary response and analysis. Students study reading through culturally and historically significant literary works and a variety of high-interest informational pieces directly related to the literary selections.

The PVPUSD Intermediate schools have adopted a new textbook series called StudySync. Students will be using this web-based textbook to learn about language arts in LA6. Core reading novels for LA6 include Hatchet, Freedom Walkers and another optional novel selected by Mr. White if time permits. More information to follow about access, teacher posting of assignments, and other important classroom procedures!  

Read the entire syllabus and sign/print the last page only. Please bring to class by Friday, September 1st!
