Language Arts 6 is based on the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for sixth grade. This course integrates listening, speaking, writing and reading with an emphasis on literary analysis. Students read narrative and informational text and analyze their structure, elements, and style. Vocabulary strategies are taught and reinforced through a variety of literature. Using the writing process and the six traits of writing, students write narrative and expository pieces, such as a personal narrative and the argumentative essay. The mechanics of writing, including sentence structure, spelling and grammar, are taught and reinforced through student writing. Students develop speaking and listening skills by participating in group discussions and oral presentations.
