Literature Study
During the language arts block, we will be reading many short stories and informational text, both in whole group and during small reading groups; however, these are usually very short and not meant to span more than a day or a week at best.
Student will get the opportunity to experience a longer text to be read over weeks or months during their silent reading time as well as during our Literature Study. We will read a book together as a whole class, stopping when necessary to discuss textual elements such as theme, characters, perspective, etc. and discuss our reader responses. Students are expected to complete book reviews for books they are read on their own. We will complete whole class book reviews for books we read together as a whole class.
