CR00564 - English Language Arts 700 (S1)

In this course, students grow as readers, writers, and thinkers. With engaging literary and informational texts, students learn to think critically, analyze an author’s language, and cite evidence to support ideas. Students complete an in-depth study of novel excerpts, short stories, poetry, and nonfiction. Explicit modeling and ample opportunities for practice help students sharpen their vocabulary, grammar, and listening skills. Students also respond routinely to texts they have read. In extensive process-based writing lessons, students write topical essays in narrative, informative, analytical, and argumentative formats. The online course also includes audio resources that can "read" content to students along with 17 different language translation options. Students will take a diagnostic pre-assessment prior to beginning each lesson and do not need to re-take those lessons where they demonstrate the ability to meet standards. This course is offered as a credit recovery option with teachers located in South Dakota.
