All About G/T ELA
Mrs. Ross & Mrs. Reynolds, G/T Honors ELA (LEAP)
We are Honors ELA with a touch of color!
6th Grade GT ELA/LEAP Themes & Skills
Independence
Cultivating Wonder
This unit focus on informational nonfiction and poetry. Students will begin to explore how their authentic questions can be answered through research in a flexible way.
Taking Risks
This unit is for students to deepen their knowledge about literary texts using fiction, nonfiction, and drama. They will develop their capacity for critical thinking. Students will choose a conspiracy theory to use as a basis for a narrative.
Relationships
This unit will focus on argumentative texts. Students will use the capacities of creativity and research to produce and evaluate multimedia presentations that communicate their ideas and information to specific audiences.
SSR (Sustained Silent Reading)
We will read silently each day from a book of choice (just like in Honors ELA). There is a 30 book challenge (not required). There are a variety of books in the classroom and our Lamar library!
G/T follows the same framework as on-level and honors!
