English Department

Revere's English Language Arts Department has designed its educational program to guide students on their journey to become perceptive readers, effective writers and insightful critical thinkers.  With a focus on Informational/Expository, Narrative, and Argumentative texts, the faculty guides students through a CCSS-based curriculum, with an emphasis on studying a writer's craft.  Through close reading and annotation of text, students learn to generate text-dependent questions and assertions and to share these ideas with peers in structured discussion formats, such as Socratic Seminar.  Technology is used to enhance the understanding and presentation of information.  The goal of having students find and develop their voice as writers is supported in class, as well as through additional activities, such as Revere's prestigious Literary Anthology, its award-winning student newspaper The Town Crier, and lunch clubs focused on writing short stories.
