This year, students will be engaged in a rigorious program composed of the following components: Reading, Writing, Thinking, Listening, Speaking, Collaborating, and Presenting. For a variety of reasons, these components cannot effectively be taught in isolation, but must be integrated or learned in conjunction with one another. To that end, our classes will follow a Workshop model. Essentially, this model facilitates learning by doing. Students perform the vast majority of the doing in a classroom setting.
The only way to become an accomplished reader is to read...A LOT!
