ELA 7 Block 2 (Period 4 T/Th) Assignments

Block 2 will build upon students’ prior knowledge and skill in writing and may emphasize the use of language for the different effects and to construct meaning and connections. ELA Block 2 will offer students the opportunity to develop and improve their technique and individual style in poetry, short story, essays, and other forms of writing. The emphasis of Block 2 is on writing; however, students will integrate ELA Block 1 units of study and the concurrent exemplary 5 representations and authors to obtain a fuller appreciation of form and craft. Students will use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing and to link to and cite sources as well as interact and collaborate with others as stated in the Common Core Writing Standard 7.6. Google Drive applications will be utilized for creating documents and presentations.
