Dear Families, 

I am an 8th grade ELA and 7th & 8th grade ELD teacher at August Boeger. 

ELA: This year we are continuing to use the EL Education Curriculum, which is a standard-based curriculum and instruction that links learning to real-world issues. Through the use of various types of readings, this curriculum enables students to do the following: think critically, analyze, and evaluate complex ideas in order to develop a greater understanding of multiple perspectives. This year in ELA we will be reading the novels Inside Out & Back Again and To Kill a Mockingbird. 

ELD: This year we are continuing to use the 3D English curriculum. The 3D English curriculum is rooted in issues that students can relate to, to deepen their understanding of the English language. The curriculum also focuses on academic language, and provides differentiation through the use of graphic organizers, and sentence starters to support students and their needs at varying levels.
