Reading, writing, language conventions, listening and speaking...these are the things that are taught in the English classes. \u00a0Walters' English teachers create innovative lessons to support the California standards. \u00a0For eighth grade students, the core novel is The Outsiders<\/em> and for seventh graders, it is The Pearl.<\/em> \u00a0In addition to these required books, teachers use an anthology of grade level pieces. \u00a0Timeless Voices<\/em>, Timeless Themes<\/em> \u00a0include\u00a0 some wonderful short stories, dramas and non-fiction selections.<\/p>\n
