Middle school aged students will work to improve their communication skills through oral and written communication. We will focus heavily on the Writing Process, the Traits of Writing, and practice these concepts through expository writing, argumentative writing, and public speaking. Heavy emphasis will be placed on the use of text evidence to support our opinions. In order to do this, students will be expected to research and read a variety of articles that relate to their chosen topics. Also, articles and plays from Scope Magazine by Scholastic will be used occasionally as a way to expand ideas and discussion. Grammar and vocabulary will be woven throughout using Simple Solutions and teacher chosen grammar activities. Bring a composition notebook, scissors, pencils, highlighters *Fee note: Students re-enrolling for the second semester will pay a $15 supply fee vs $35 as your workbook was purchased the first semester.

Homework: 60 mins/wk
Students will work to improve their argumentative writing by flexing their critical thinking muscles. We will begin the semester by analyzing written work and developing a baseline for what good argument writing looks like. We will read and discuss scenarios that involve the need for solid argument and text based evidence to persuade an audience, developing a foundation for writing our own arguments. Students will then work together to solve a real world issue. In a proposal argument, students will describe a significant problem and a reasonable solution, applying all of the skills developed in the first semester. We will also improve our critical thinking through reading, writing, and discussion, and will attend to basic research skills, including MLA documentation. Additionally, we will practice the writing traits of word choice, sentence structure, ideas and organization. Lessons for the first semester will come from Argumentative Writing and Critical Thinking 6-12. We will also explore arguments in other texts—in popular culture, advertisements, and websites. This will include the reading of To Kill a Mockingbird, and stories by Edgar Allen Poe. Students need to have access to a laptop or tablet that they can bring to class and use at home for research and word processing.
If you are in 7th grade, you must have taken my Middle School English class as a prerequisite. Bring a laptop or tablet, paper, pencils, highlighters, binder or other organization system.
