English Language Arts (ELA)

  Welcome to ELA (English / Language Arts) at Jefferson Middle School! Northside's Middle School ELA Vision is this: Every day, in every MS ELA classroom, every learner will experience opportunities to develop lifelong literacy and critical thinking skills in an engaging environment that fosters respect, choice, and collaboration. As a department, we do our absolute best to hold true to this vision every day. In ELA, we focus on Reading, Writing, Thinking, Listening and Speaking, and want to improve all of these aspects of life for all students
