Georges Servat, age 15 months

Let's Dig In!

Hello, my name is Amy Servat, and my goal as your child's teacher is to get them to read like a writer and write like a reader.  I am also passionate about preparing them for high school and beyond.

Here are the books needed for this school year (book clubs will  pop up as well though):

Grade Level: The Shape of Mercy by Susan Meissner
The Giver by Lois Lowry

PreAP: The Crucible by Arthur Miller
Night by Elie Wiesel
October Country by Ray Bradbury
Animal Farm by George Orwell

In addition to analyzing many different types of text, we will be writing an analytical response in the first nine weeks, a multi-paragraph expository essay in the second nine weeks, a persuasive (researched) text and a letter in the third nine weeks, and an analytical response and imaginative story in the fourth nine weeks.
