CR00567 - English Language Arts 800 (S2)

In this course, students build on their knowledge and blossom as thoughtful readers and clear, effective writers. A balance of literary and informational text engages students throughout the course in reading critically, analyzing texts, and citing evidence to support claims. Students sharpen their vocabulary, grammar, and listening skills through lessons designed to provide explicit modeling and ample opportunities to practice. Students also routinely write responses to texts they have read, and use more extensive, process-based lessons to produce full-length 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.
