English Language Arts (ELA)
ELA in the Moraga School District is uniquely and developmentally taught at three progressive levels to solidly prepare all of our students for the rigorous demands of high school. Sixth grade students take language arts with social studies in a three period set of classes, known as core (See Department - Core). Seventh and Eighth grade students take one period of ELA, just like the high school, with a strong emphasis on essay writing.
The California Language Arts Standards covered at JM ELA include:
- Reading: word analysis, fluency, and systematic vocabulary development; reading comprehension (focus on information materials); literary response and analysis
- Writing: writing strategies: writing applications (genres and their characteristics)
- Conventions: written and oral English language conventions; listening and speaking strategies; speaking applications (genres and their characteristics)
