Middle School Geography Course

In this one semester exploratory course, students will get an overview of both physical and human geography. To start their studies students will define and describe the five themes of geography: location, place, region, human-environment interaction, and movement. The students will explore each of the major regions of the world–the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Central and Eastern Asia, and Southern Asia and Oceana—while focusing on these five themes.

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.
