• English Language Arts is a block class which exposes students to some of the significant works and ideas of writers.  Students will read a variety of genres from novels to poetry, short fiction to non-fiction informational texts.  In addition, students will compose a variety of texts, including (but not limited to) analytical, informative and argumentative essays, narratives and poetry, presentations and projects.  In ELA, we will work together to develop students' skills in all areas of ELA.
