7th Grade Language Arts
2nd 9 weeks Language Syllabus
Course Description: The study of language arts at the seventh grade level
integrates reading/literature skills with the study of language conventions,
writing, spelling and vocabulary to create a well-rounded, balanced language
arts program. The curriculum is based on the adopted texts and centers on
the integration of the District’s seventh grade standards for reading and
writing. This course also requires the reading of six Essential Literature
titles during the school year.
Standards to be covered:
• Know and use appropriately the meaning, forms, and functions, of nouns,
pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs.
• Distinguish among and analyze imaginative forms of literature such as
folk tales, myths, and legends.
• Distinguish between biography and autobiography.
• Use capitalization correctly.
Assessments:
Students progress toward the standards will primarily be assessed through
daily assignments, quizzes, tests, and projects. Quizzes may be announced or
unannounced. Tests will be given at the end of each Chapter.
