eNGLISH 8Welcome to 8th Grade English!
This class will focus on the Common Core Standards. These standards incorporate literature, informational text, the communication skills of writing, speaking and listening, and use of language. Throughout the course, you will be asked to read and respond to books, articles, and other sources of information. You will be challenged to analyze the works of authors in both literature and expository writing, including comparisons between authors, citing textual evidence to support their claims. You will investigate the English language and how it is used by an author to craft a piece of writing. You will actively engage in the writing process, producing your own informative, argumentative, and narrative pieces. You will also investigate the research process, and conduct short research projects, integrating multimedia and visual displays. The short version- You'll be really busy and you'll learn a ton! |
