The Language Arts program includes reading, supplemented with novels, the writing process, and grammar. The students learn different types of writing focusing on six traits: Ideas and content, Organization, Voice, Word Choice, Sentence Fluency, and Conventions. In order to master these writing skills, the students will be instructed to use graphic organizers, peer and self-editing, and revising. Elaboration strategies that include alliteration, idioms, similes, metaphor, dialogue, personal examples, adverbs and adjectives are taught throughout the year.
