Description: Students will take the next steps along the pathway to a deeper understanding of literature. By reading short stories, novels, and nonfiction texts, students will learn a variety of comprehension skills and strategies that will develop critical thinking and lay the foundation for future literary analysis. Students will refine their writing skills by practicing sentence and simple paragraph structure, engage in thoughtful discussions, and complete creative projects to deepen their engagement with the stories. Much of the reading will be completed independently, both inclass and athome, so students should be reading at a 3rd-grade level or higher for this class.
