HONORS ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS - 7TH GRADE

This course is aligned with the Washington State Learning Standards which include College and Career Readiness standards. In addition to the entire essential skills requisite to 7th-grade Language Arts, the curriculum of this course demands deeper, more complex thinking and reasoning. Students are required to produce work that exemplifies a highly developed understanding of the curriculum. Advanced reading, writing, listening, speaking, language, and collaborative strategies are used purposefully to build knowledge and skills to help students become independent readers of above-grade-level texts, writers with advanced composition skills, and analytical thinkers as they continue to progressively build the skills necessary for academic success. Students who qualify for gifted services are placed in this course.
