Hi there! Welcome to our 7th grade ELA website for the 2024-2025 school year! I am eager to begin this journey of faith and knowledge with each one of you.
As a lifelong "Book Nerd", my goal is to instill a love of reading to all my students!
Both Google Classroom and this school website will be used to keep everyone organized and on top of what is happening inside our classroom.
Yours,
Dr. Pacinello

What to look forward to in 7th grade English...
This year we will focus on many components of the English language including grammar, vocabulary, and spelling. In addition, reading comprehension, and writing will be strengthened throughout the year.
While working with our novels, short stories and nonfiction pieces, many Common Core Standards will be addressed and assessed.

Looking ahead in ELA...
Summer reading: Freak the Mighty by Rodman Philbrick and a book of choice from a teacher-constructed list.
Please email me at the address above or visit our Google Classroom for the PDF documents needed to complete this summer reading.
After reviewing the mandatory summer reading, we will begin with our class novels:
Our first novel will be Fever 1793. This is a novel written by Laurie Halse Anderson.I will keep everyone updated on the books that will follow!
With each novel we work with there will be shorter articles, poems, etc. that will be examined and analyzed to help with the understanding of the main piece of literature. Throughout the Unit, you can expect open-ended classroom discussions, quizzes, homework and classroom assignments, as well as creative projects (both partner and individual), as well as a unit test.
