This course provides a literature-based language arts program. Students use significant works of literature as a basis for instruction in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. They learn to read by reading and write by writing, while experiencing all stages of the writing process. Oral language and critical thinking capabilities are developed as students respond to literature. Students learn from each other, working together on tasks which result in individual and group projects. The goal is to build a love for reading, to create effective communicators in both oral and written language, and to promote successful independent learning.
