Course Description: TYWLS of Queens uses Expeditionary Learning as its ELA curriculum in grades
6-8. This is a comprehensive curriculum that is fully aligned with the New York State Common Core
Standards. In each module the students will be provided an anchor text and a workbook with class work
assignments, homework and supplemental readings/resources. There will be 1 mid-unit assessment, and
two final assessments, one of which will be an essay performance task.
Communication:
PupilPath will be used for grades, feedback on student work (where applicable) as well as for logs of
student activity. Edmodo will be used as well for online accompanying assignments, readings,
multimedia, and student outreach for class matters.
Extra Help:
Tutoring is offered twice a week, and is available to all students (Period 9 on Tuesdays, Period 4 on
Thursdays). Help with writing and reading assignments is always available upon request, and any
accommodations needed for the covered texts will be addressed as soon as possible.
