READING
In 6th grade we use both the anthology and class novels to study a variety of genres including mystery, science fiction, historical fiction, and myths. Students will eventually take part in book club discussion groups.
In addition to fiction, we will also incorporate nonfiction reading opportunities. This includes biographical excerpts, as well as Time Magazine and Newsela, a new online resource we are looking forward to using with Chrome Books.
