ELA Primary Focus:
The primary focus of this class will build on last year's accomplishments by maintaining and refining skills already mastered in usage and mechanicswhile developing more sophistication in literary analysis and written
composition (especially expository writing).
ELA is comprised of two divisions: Language and Reading/Literature
-Language component: focuses on grammar (the tools) and the writing process as a whole. Formal oral presentations are also included in this component.
-Reading component: focuses on the understanding of literary elements, genre, terminology, structure, literary analysis, fluency, media literacy, and independent reading. Vocabulary acquisition is also a part of this component.
