Transcription

1 Curriculum Review Cycle (Revised, June 11, 2015) North Allegheny School District English Language Arts Department Grades 6-12

2 Core Titles Forward Core titles are literature titles that the teachers of each course agree they will ALL teach assuring that every student in that course reads that particular piece of literature. The purpose of having the list is: 1. To provide consistency across the district. 2. To assure that all students are exposed to a well-rounded literature survey. 3. To prevent students from receiving the same literature instruction year after year because teachers are unaware of what is taught in previous courses. The current consolidated lists reflect the Core Titles that will be taught in each course beginning in Antonio S. Caruso English Language Arts Department Chair Submitted June 11,
