Honors 7th Grade Literature

This year's theme: Exploring bravery

Students will practice reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Students will read a variety of novels, short stories, poems, plays, and nonfiction texts and write fiction and research papers. Throughout the year, 7th graders will reflect on the theme of bravery and how our perceptions change with each text we read.
