7th Grade Core

English 7 covers a wide variety of new and review areas including vocabulary, grammar concepts, in-depth literature and novel studies, poetry, and literary analysis. Emphasis is placed on structuring sentences, paragraphs, summaries, and essays. Grammar starts with review of punctuation and capitalization rules and progresses to a unit study of each part of speech. The knowledge of the parts of speech is incorporated with sentence structure for greater variation and interest in writing.
