Welcome to 2nd Semester!

                                    

Important Note:
Dear Parents and Students of NIA Arlington,
Now that my son, who most of you know as Butterbean, is home from the hospital, I will be spending the next two weeks with him and getting physical therapy and rehab. The coming two weeks of ELA have been planned and students have engaging and interesting work to keep them focused, on task and acquiring new information. A HUGE thanks to all of the well-wishes, prayers and goodies provided to Butterbean! See you all in two weeks! Ms. Sanders

4th Six Weeks Objectives:

English I: Students understand, make inferences and draw conclusions about the varied structural patterns and features of literary nonfiction and provide evidence from text to support their understanding. Students are expected to analyze how literary essays interweave personal examples and ideas with factual information to explain, present a perspective, or describe a situation or event.

English II: Students understand, make inferences and draw conclusions about the varied structural patterns and features of literary nonfiction and provide evidence from text to support their understanding. Students are expected to evaluate the role of syntax and diction and the effect of voice, tone, and imagery on a speech, literary essay, or other forms of literary nonfiction.

English III: Students understand, make inferences and draw conclusions about the varied structural patterns and features of literary nonfiction and provide evidence from text to support their understanding. Students are expected to analyze how rhetorical techniques (e.g., repetition, parallel structure, understatement, overstatement) in literary essays, true life adventures, and historically important speeches influence the reader, evoke emotions, and create meaning.
