Language Arts 500 Course Overview
Language Arts 500 continues to build on the sequential development and integration of language arts skills in four
major areas¡ªreading, writing, speaking, and listening. Special attention is placed on reading non-fiction texts. Students
identify text features and explain how graphic elements lead to comprehension and continue to build grammar skills in
support of clear communication. Speaking skills are built upon in this course through memorization and recitation of
the powerful Gettysburg Address. Students also learn what good communication is and how to practice this in all areas
