Welcome to Seventh Grade!!
It’s only been a few days, but I can tell that it is going to be a great year. The students have settled in nicely and are busy learning new material and seventh grade standards. After a brief introduction to technical writing, the next six weeks will focus on narrative reading and writing. The students will be introduced to SOAPSTone, a pre-AP strategy that examines text in terms of narrative elements, and review the traditional short story elements. The literature selections include short stories by Gary Soto, Kurt Vonnegut, and Russell Baker as well as narrative poems by Emerson, Tennyson, Noyes, and Robert Service. The writing assignments will include a group short story as well as several personal narrative pieces. The students will use one of the personal narrative pieces as the basis of a timed writing activity to culminate the unit.
I believe that seventh grade is the best grade. I look forward to working with you and your child. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
