Amplify ELA
The Amplify curriculum is grounded in APS' recurring standards that emphasize textual evidence, academic vocabulary, effective communication, and writing specific experiences that include argumentative, explanatory, and narrative.
The Amplify curriculum was specifically designed for middle school students so that they can build the skills necessary to read deeply, write vividly and think critically.
The curriculum includes engaging and multicultural texts like, Fish Cheeks by Amy Tan, the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas, Gris Grimly's Frankenstein, and Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare.
