The purpose of this class is to sharpen reading and vocabulary skills that students already possess, as well as gain new English skills by participating in projects per the class curriculum.
This year, we will be doing a little bit of everything, so maybe there will be something enjoyable for everyone! We will continuously work on weekly grammar and vocabulary skills, and we will also read some amazing books together. We will improve our writing skills by writing different types of papers. These will be valuable skills for students to familiarize themselves with, especially as they academically prepare for high school. For more specifics on what we will be learning this year, feel free to view the standards on the Alabama Learning Exchange (ALEX) curriculum for 8th grade English Language Arts. |
