WElcome to 8th grade ELA!!In 8th grade we will focus our attention to argumentative writing, research, essay writing, standardized testing skills, reading non-fiction, and reading two novels: My Brother Sam is Dead and The Outsiders. We will finish the year with a Portfolio that highlights all the hard work we've done throughout the school year.
Below, please find our agendas for this year. Every effort will be made to post these Monday morning of each week.
