8th Grade ELA

Class overview

I am so excited to begin my 2nd year teaching middle school ELA at ECCA! In this class, we will work on further building reading, writing, and speaking skills as well as critical thinking skills while preparing students to enter high school. Differing from last year, we will spend our first three quarters in the CommonLit 360 Curriculum. This curriculum will expose students to a variety of short stories, poems, and informational text. We will end the year (4th quarter) in the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Students will engage in daily class discussions and numerous writing assignments, including quick-writes, creative writing (poetry), and academic essays.
