Exploring Stories II
This class is designed for the bridge student who is looking for a language arts class. Class I and II may be taken in any order.
Description
This class is designed for the bridge student who is looking for a language arts class. Each week our class will explore a different short story (32+ total). Using these short stories we will cover literary elements (setting, character traits, theme, symbolism, conflict, figurative language, point of view, tone, and some non-fiction elements also). This class will also introduce vocabulary, develop grammar skills, and provide opportunities for increasing effective writing skills.
Please note: This class alternates stories each year. Therefore, it is possible for students to take the class for 2 years without repeating stories. Students may take Exploring Stories II without having been enrolled in Exploring Stories I.
Note: Mrs. Quickel is a Certified PA Reading Specialist, M.Ed.
