District Curriculum Information
The primary goal of Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD’s Secondary English Language Arts and Reading courses is for all students to graduate as confident, analytical readers, proficient, reflective writers, effective communicators, and discerning consumers of visual media. Students read and respond to increasingly complex texts across a variety of literary, informational, and argumentative genres. Daily academic discussions and collaboration with peers deepens students’ understanding of texts, themselves, the community, and the world around them. Students engage in the writing process to write for specific purposes and audiences, emphasizing clarity, diction, coherence, organization, and adherence to conventions.
