Hello, you have reached the home page of English 7. This number remains busy, because we remain busy – learning to compose, originate, appraise, describe, conclude, and relate…

Mirrors and Windows Level II is our current text for basic literacy (reading, writing, and speech). The text is literature-based; the concept being, that great literature provides mirrors that help us reflect on our world and windows that will lead us into new worlds.

We explore these new worlds as we navigate 21st century learning. Students are encouraged to ask essential questions and to find the answers through communication and collaboration, information and research fluency, digital citizenship, media literacy, and technology. Differentiated learning provides a conducive environment for creativity, critical thinking, and innovation.

Activities are designed to promote higher level thinking and critical skills in multiple literacys, in accordance with Florida Benchmarks for Language Arts Grade 7. (Student work will be posted intermittently on the home page.)
