Chinese I Course

Chinese I Course

Students will be introduced to the fundamentals of the language and will develop communicative skills and learn to read and write in the spoken style. This course requires participation in a weekly one-hour integrated drill session.

Language Arts 6 Semester A

Through a study of myths, fables, and folk tales from different cultures—as well as novels and other modern forms of narrative, students learn the elements common to all forms of literature and also the elements that are unique to each form. In lessons focused on writing and language study, students craft essays in several different modes and learn how to create the more formal style expected for school writing assignments. Lessons in this semester guide students to recognize and reproduce text structures and organizational patterns that work for different types of essays. The writing lessons also demonstrate the kinds of changes that students should make during the revising and editing stages of the writing process. Opportunities for teacher feedback are frequent, detailed, and varied.
