Literature for Middle School
Students will dive into rich and relevant literature while learning how authors use literary terms and devices to make their writing come to life. We will read a variety of literature including novels, short stories, and poetry. Students will be taught how to craft a literary response in clear and guided steps and how to lead and participate in a group discussion. This class pairs beautifully both with the Grammar and Composition classes for middle school students to create a complete language arts block. Students should expect to spend 4 hours a week on homework. Parents will be expected to check their child’s work for quality. Students who were enrolled in last year's literature class should enroll again in this course as all new literature has been selected. The final booklist will be updated by May 1, 2024. Tentative booklist: Where the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace Lin purchase from Amazon The Door in the Wall by De'Angeli purchase from Amazon 1001 Arabian Nights *it must be this exact version* purchase from Amazon There is no diagnostic test needed for entry.
