The Humanities block includes the study of history,
geography, language arts and literature. Sixth graders expand their knowledge
of history by studying the major Western and non-Western ancient civilizations.
Students will appreciate the contributions of the ancient world to our modern
world and recognize the role of geography in the development of social,
economic, and political structures.
Students will develop higher levels of critical thinking by considering
why civilizations developed where and when they did, why they became dominant,
and why they declined. Reading skills
that are emphasized include fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary
development. Writing skills - proper
sentence structure, grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and spelling - will
be incorporated into a variety of writing assessments including response to
literature, expository and persuasive composition, and a research report.
Students will make well-organized formal oral presentations that demonstrate a
command of standard American English as well as organizational and delivery
strategies. All of the
Long Term
Assignments: Welcome 2009-2010
sixth graders and parents. I am
delighted that you are using my website.
The "Long Term Assignments" section lets you know about
assignments that will require repeated study over several nights. There will be
a spelling test every Friday. (Students who will be out of school on Friday should
be prepared to make up the spelling test on Monday.) Students need to keep a
log of their daily reading (minimum 20minutes a day X 5) - it is collected
Fridays. There will be two book reports each trimester. The reports cover
different genres of literature. Students
should be memorizing a minimum of 50 words of a traditional poem (not a nursery
rhyme or a comic poem) see the instructions on EDLINE. Map of all
HOMEWORK POLICY: I do not
generally accept late homework. However
in the event that a parent feels there are special circumstances which warrant
extended time, I will accept a note from the parent in place of the homework,
and I will expect the homework to follow in a timely manner.
Extra Credit: Opportunities
are made available throughout the year for extra credit, however there is no
assignment that students can do during the last weeks of the trimester in order
to raise their grade.
PLEASE NOTE: Students are required to bring a pen, pencil, and writing paper to
class every day. Students must also have their Student Handbook with
them every day in order to write down their assignments. Although my weekly
assignments will always be posted on this site, it is very important that
students develop their organizational skills by learning to write down their
own assignments as well as any additional information/special instructions that
I may give during class.
