The Language Arts Grade is calculated in the following manner: 
Homework & Classwork 55%; Read-Up 10%; Tests 35%.

In Language Arts this year, students will be introduced to over 180 new 
vocabulary words in a program called Word of the Day.  Five words will be 
given Monday of each week and assessed on Friday.  Students are required to 
know the definition, synonyms, antonyms, part of speech, and correct usage 
in a sentence for each. The information is kept by the student in his/her 
Language Arts binder. I have included in this announcement the first(30)
vocabulary words for the first six weeks. We will review the words in class 
weekly. This year we are adding one literary/figurative language word to the 
list. These are words that students should be familiar with for SOL testing.  
The literary terms will also be included on the weekly test and in the 
review.  Please study the words with your child weekly and use as many of 
them in conversation as possible.

During the second semester, our language arts classes will review skills in 
preparation for the SOL tests.  We will use the Virginia SOL 
Prep book and the Virginia SOL Coach book to assist with the review.

Students should also be spending 30 minutes each evening reading.  Remember 
Read-Up counts for 10% of the total Language Arts grade.  Progress reports 
will be sent every two weeks during the grading period. Please look on the 
progress report for an indication of the number of read-up points earned by 
that time.  Please see the Read-Up section of this site for additional 
information.
