“Books to the ceiling, Books to the sky, My pile of books is a mile high.
How I love them! How I need them! I’ll have a long beard by the time I read them.” ~Arnold Lobel
The SCOPE and Advanced Content Language Arts program is aligned with the Georgia Standards of Excellence curriculum. Students learn to comprehend more challenging books and articles, basing analyses, inferences, and claims on explicit and relevant evidence from the texts. Students expand on their ability to identify central ideas by identifying how those themes are shaped and conveyed by particular details. The analysis of basic literary elements extends to identifying connections and complexities within narratives and how individual elements weave together to advance plot and reveal character.

Writing is a major focus in class, and students develop effective arguments, write ethically from research, exposit literary texts, write expository essays, and create strong narratives. Structured studies in grammar, vocabulary, and Greek and Latin affixes and roots further develops students’ abilities and prepares them for the future. Appropriate listening, speaking, and viewing behavior is modeled, and opportunities to practice these skills include whole-class and small-group activities, projects, oral presentations, student-teacher conferences, and round-table discussions. Strategic use of films and videos also enrich cultural and media literacy.
