Welcome to the Blue Team English Language Arts page.
Amesbury Public Schools use the John Collins Writing Program. Students keep a living writing folder in class where all writing assignments stay. As new skills are learned and strengthened, past writing activities become authentic works for students to practice with.
Students practice a variety of reading strategies in class through the help of our partnership with TLA (The Teaching and Learning Alliance). Strategies include: inferring, visualizing, determining importance, predicting, questioning, summarizing, using context clues and connecting. Students work collaboratively and individually to strengthen comprehension.
Objectives:
Expand student knowledge and appreciation of quality literature
Analyze the elements of a story
Develop critical thinking skills
Improve writing skills (voice, mechanics, and conventions)
Make connections with what students learn in other subject areas, the media, the world, and their lives
Develop research skills using the library resources
