Reading & Writing 2 systematically develops students' reading writing skills through a variety of fun writing projects and the shared reading of two award-winning novels. In the writing portion of the course, students will use the writing process to compose beautiful, effective essays in several different modes, learn how to add creative flair to their work, and find new avenues of self-expression and personal style. In the reading portion, the chance to read, discuss, and write about two award-winning novels, Kimberly Brubaker Bradley's The War I Finally Won (the sequel to her Newbery-Award Winning The War That Saved My Life) and Sharon Creech's Newbery-Award winning Walk Two Moons, will allow students to get immersed in works of literature, strengthen their passion for reading, discover the connection between reading and writing, and advance their Language Arts skills. Relevant vocabulary and grammar components enrich and strengthen the skills learned in this course.
Note: The novels for this course must be purchased separately.
