ELA 6th Grade Overview

The Expeditionary Learning English Language Arts Grade 6 instructional materials meet the expectations for alignment. Texts and text sets are high quality and at an appropriate level of rigor and complexity and organized to support students' growth in literacy over the course of the school year. The majority of tasks and questions are focused on these texts, and the instructional materials provide many opportunities for rich and rigorous evidence-based discussions and writing about texts to build strong literacy skills. Students build knowledge as they engage integrated reading, writing, speaking and listening, and language study. Culminating tasks require students to read, discuss, analyze, and write about texts while students participate in a volume of reading to build knowledge. Modules are developed to support and build knowledge, to intentionally address academic vocabulary, and to scaffold supports so that students will independently demonstrate grade-level proficiency at the end of the school year.
