Writing

There is an emphasis on writing across all grade levels and in all subjects. Teachers help students attend closely to language by analyzing the function of transitional words. Teachers integrate language arts, helping students learn to read like writers and apply the same complex structures of argument in class discussions they are expected to use in their essays. Student writing is aligned to New Jersey Student Learning Standards so students will write argumentative, so they can state and support their opinion, informative/explanatory text, and narratives that are graded based on rubrics designed specifically for each writing assignment.
