Description

Grade 6 marks the start of middle-school literary study. Students analyze how characters and themes develop over a whole work, distinguish supported from unsupported claims, and write arguments, analyses, research and narratives with a consistent tone and style. Grammar focuses on pronoun case, clauses and the four sentence types, and vocabulary grows through a large set of Latin and Greek roots. Literature includes classic poems with meter, rhyme scheme and free verse, Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, classical myths, contemporary stories, essays and speeches from reformers and suffragists, and Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.
