EL Curriculum

Expeditionary Learning

What is EL Education? "EL Education is a curriculum written by and for teachers with emphasis placed on active learning and student engagement. Classrooms are structured with highly collaborative activities that allow students to engage in academic conversations and investigations of rich academic topics. EL aims to contribute to a student’s ability to be globally competitive and active contributors in building a better world."

​

As a part of the EL Curriculum, we will be using 4 anchor texts throughout the year. Students will be provided a copy of these texts in class, but will not be permitted to bring these texts home. It is advised, but not required, for students to purchase their own copy of the following texts:

​

Quarter 1: "Love that Dog" by Sharon Creech 

Quarter 2: "Animal Behavior: Animal Defenses" by Christina Wilsdon

Quarter 3: "Divided Loyalties: The Barton Family During the American Revolution" by Gare Thompson

Quarter 4: "The Hope Chest" by Karen Schwabach
