Welcome, 7th graders to AC2E Middle School!
This year is exceptional in that more gifted teachers have chosen to be your mentors and cheerleaders for your continuing educational journey. Thank God for that!
During the first six weeks, we will be delving into the concepts of parts of speech, sentences, paragraphs and compositions. Two major types of essays will be the focus of our study and application: the personal narrative and the expository compositions. We will write these pieces in a deeper and more advanced level than what you may have learned previously. Grammar will go hand in hand as you compose these essays. There will be also book reports and projects. You will be actively engaged in all our activities with the idea that you drive your own learning. That is the only way you will truly learn, not for a day nor for a year, but for a lifetime.
I will do my best to make our learning fun, but at the same time rigorous. We will take as our class motto: Be nice and work hard.
Again, welcome to an invigorating year of writing!
