7th Grade Honors English
Honors English 7 addresses reading, writing, listening and speaking within a rigorous standards-based program. Instruction will include reading comprehension, writing in narrative and expository modes, language conventions, vocabulary development in meaningful contexts, and reference skills. Students will study various genres including the short story, novel, drama, biography, poetry, and informational materials within the context of the district themes: Growing Up - Personal Journey, View Points - Expanding Perspectives.
7th Grade Honors English is designed for students performing at Standards Exceeded and/or Standards Met levels. Students do not have to apply for this course, but they must be willing to accept the challenges and make an earnest effort to do their best.
As a general policy, Honors English students will remain enrolled in the course for the semester to avoid curriculum conflicts.
