Welcome to ELA 6th Grade

Welcome! 

Throughout the year, during this course we will look at the fundamental language skills of reading, writing, speaking, listening, thinking, viewing, and presenting. There will be an emphasis on vocabulary and composition skills will be an on-going part of this course. We will be looking at different literary genres: short story, non-fiction, novel excerpts, etc.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION 

This course is designed to be a student self-directed course with assistance from parents.  You will not be graded by a teacher, so the learning activities, assignments, and assessments are for your learning.  We suggest you keep a digital notebook in your CSDDOCS files to keep track of your work and the documents that you will create during this course.

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS COURSE PLEASE CONTACT, CANYONS ONLINE COORDINATOR, MICHELLE SHIMMIN, at 801-826-5461

Tips for students:

  • While working in this course, always log in to your csddocs account in another tab.  This will ensure your access to videos, Nearpods, documents, and slideshows.
  • If a quiz or test has fill-in-the-blanks, short answers, or essays, please write them in a learning notebook or a google doc, not in the canvas assignment.  

Tips for instruction leaders (parent/guardian):

  • Use this course as a guide, or a model, of the standards 8th grade students are learning in class or on-line.   As parent-led, adjust as you see fit, as long as the standards are being met.
  • When grading, some assignments, quizzes and tests are accompanied by a rubric.  When there is not a rubric, use your best judgement to determine if your student has mastered the material.
  • There are speaking and listening standards in ELA.  As there are no other students learning with your student, there are a few times they will  need to have a conversation with you.  Please ensure they use complete sentences and academic language.
