Where language meets the web! |
The purpose of writing is not to write to be understood, but to write so well that one is not misunderstood.
Welcome to the 7th Grade Advanced Language Arts website. Please check this page often as information is updated weekly. Parents and students are able to check due dates of assignments and access all teacher generated handouts.

How to Use Your "Gaggle" Digital
Locker
1. To access the Digital Locker, click the "Digital Locker" link
from the "Jump To" menu.
2. Click on "Add a file".
3. Click the "Browse" button which will bring up a window for locating the
desired file and choose the file.
4. Click the "Upload File" button to complete the upload of the file.
5. When you get home (or back to school), double click on the needed file
and it will open.
6. You MUST save this file on your home computer (remember where you save
it).
7. When you've made the changes/additions, UPLOAD from home following
steps 1-4.
IMPORTANT: You must open the file and save it on your home computer. When you're back at school, you MUST open the document and re-save it on your "P" drive. Adding an extension to your file name (Brush Strokes_1, Brush Strokes_2) will help ensure that you don't over-ride a needed document. Delete unneeded documents from both your "P" drive and your "Digital Locker".
