Manitoba Grade 7 English Curriculum Overview
Grade 7 English in Manitoba covers five interconnected strands: listening and speaking, reading, writing, viewing, and representing. Students build on skills from Grade 6 as they engage with more complex texts, develop their personal writing voice, and think critically about the messages in the media and literature around them.
Listening and Speaking Skills
Manitoba Grade 7 students learn to listen critically and reflect on what others contribute. They practice supportive non-verbal communication and explore how language can include or exclude people. Speaking skills include adjusting tone and expression for different audiences and organizing ideas with a clear introduction, body, and conclusion.
Reading Comprehension and Vocabulary
Students apply fluency strategies to read a variety of texts accurately and expressively. They analyze word parts to figure out new vocabulary, use figures of speech in context, and make connections between what they read and their own experiences. Reading skills also include identifying fact versus opinion, recognizing bias, and evaluating the credibility of sources.
Writing Skills
Grade 7 writing in Manitoba covers the full writing process — from generating ideas and planning to drafting, revising, and publishing. Students use compound and complex sentences, practice transitions, and develop a personal voice suited to different genres and audiences. Editing skills include spelling strategies, punctuation, capitalization, and formatting for clarity.
Viewing and Representing
Students engage with multimodal texts — combining images, audio, and written language — to build background knowledge and communicate ideas. They learn how layout, design, and visual choices affect meaning, and they create their own multimodal projects for specific audiences and purposes.
