Age 10-12 Full Year Language Arts Package
Our language arts program is designed around the belief that children learn best through stories. Each lesson is centered on compelling characters and narratives to fully engage students in their learning. For example:
- In The Wanderer unit, students journey through Sharon Creech's novel, developing language skills as they chart the Atlantic voyage and participate in interactive readings.
- In Number the Stars, learners explore World War II history while crafting acrostic poems and designing propaganda posters.
- In The Giver, students delve into themes of emotion and individuality by writing additional chapters and analyzing key symbols.
These story-centered units foster creativity, critical thinking, and a deeper connection to literature.
The books included:
- 10 Novels
- 2 Short Story Collections
- 1 Biography
- 1 Book of Poetry
Our writing approach develops students into competent writers across various formats, including essays, short stories, reflective journaling, character narratives, and reports. For instance:
- in The Giver, students write an additional chapter to extend the story.
- In the Short Stories unit, they will craft their own narrative tales inspired by nature.
- When studying Bull Run, they compose analytical character narratives and persuasive essays on historical issues.
By engaging in diverse writing tasks linked to the literature, students become proficient writers adaptable to multiple formats.
