Welcome to Mrs. Rodriguez's ELA Class!

Welcome to Harlem Middle School! I am excited that you are joining the Bulldog Family this year!

Topics of study include central idea, theme, inference, analysis of claims, citation of evidence, tone, literal and figurative word meaning, narrative, argumentative, and expository writing. 

1st Nine Weeks August - October: fiction focus, argumentative writing

2nd Nine Weeks October - December: nonfiction focus, informational writing

3rd Nine Weeks January - March: nonfiction focus, informational writing

4th Nine Weeks March - May: fiction focus, argumentative writing

 

I grew up in the Martinez area and graduated from Evans High School. My husband (a Harlem graduate) and I moved to Harlem when we married 24 years ago, and we love it here. Our son Elijah is a junior at Harlem High School and a dual enrolled freshman at Augusta Tech. We have a dog named Mouse and a backyard full of chickens. When we are not working, I enjoy spending time with family in the mountains, listening to 90's country music, and reading.
