8th Grade Language Arts
In this class, students will build on and enhance skills in the areas of reading, speaking and listening, writing, grammar, and technology use. Over the course of the year, they will be educated in three types of writing: narrative, informative, and argumentative. In addition, they will complete several book studies to strengthen reading strategies and critical thinking skills as well as reading and analyzing nonfiction texts. As often as possible, multiple intelligences and student interests will be embedded in the curriculum in order to help students become true problem solvers. Throughout the course, students will learn about and discover interesting topics through projects, presentations, and research.
