Reading and Writing with a Purpose includes the study of grammar, usage, spelling, written composition, public speaking, literature, and vocabulary. Students will read, discuss, and analyze fiction and nonfiction and will learn to express their own views through various written assignment. We will explore plot, conflict, setting, point of view, theme, mood, tone, and style while reading a variety of short stories, plays, poems, novels, legends, and biographies. Written work will focus on development of ideas, organization, and style. Students will also practice grade-level grammar and usage concepts through online assignments.

The fundamental text resources used in this course are on a fourth- and fifth-grade reading level.

Meets 55 minutes per week for two semesters.
