In this course, the student will use his critical thinking and reading comprehension skills to analyze fiction and nonfiction stories presented in McGraw-Hill’s Wonders. Using a multi-draft reading approach, the student will discuss, analyze, and critique stories in order to make connections between readings, other titles and the world. Stories from the Reading/Writing Workshop and Literature Anthology will ask the student to ponder and make connections to the following essential questions, “What are different ways to meet challenges?”; “What are ways people can take action?”; and “How do we decide what’s important?”. The student will use textual evidence from one or more sources to support his ideas.
Throughout the course, the students will also develop writing skills. The basic writing content concentrates on writing quality sentences, organizing paragraphs, and adding detail to writing. The student will continue to use effective planning tools such as graphic organizers and outlines to create well-organized compositions. Through the five-stages of the writing process: prewriting, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing the student will write narrative and informative compositions. The student will continue to master spelling, grammar, and language skills. Wonders offers spelling lists based on the patterns and relationship of letters within words. Daily reading and writing activities reinforce the spelling strategies and give the student opportunities to use spelling words in context. The student will also learn the strokes of cursive handwriting.
