Writing & Reading 2 systematically develops students' writing skills through a variety of fun writing projects and vocabulary instruction. 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. Reading, discussing, and writing about two well-regarded novels, The War That Saved My Life and Neverending Story, will allow students to get immersed in a work of literature, discover the connection between reading and writing, and advance their Language Arts skills, paving the way for more advanced English courses in middle school and beyond.
