6th Grade Introduction

Page history last edited by Jason Stephenson 4 months, 2 weeks ago

Introduction to 6^th Grade In grade 6 students proficiently read grade-appropriate complex literature and informational text while further developing the ability to cite textual evidence to support analyses. Students focus on examining how authors use reasons to make their points and support arguments with evidence by separating unsupported assertions from those backed by evidence. Students analyze both the structure and content of complex, grade-appropriate texts, determining how sentences and paragraphs within texts influence and contribute to the unfolding of a plot and the development and elaboration of events or ideas. As students practice speaking and listening also share their findings in class discussions, they learn how to logically sequence ideas and highlight the themes and key details they find most persuasive. Students’ vocabularies expand as they become more attuned to using context, knowledge of Greek and Latin roots and affixes, and word analysis to determine the meaning of academic words. They also take a critical stance toward sources and apply criteria for identifying reliable information as opposed to mere conjecture.
