Welcome 8th Grade Students & Guardians!

About Our Class

This language arts class is designed to increase your communication skills through reading, writing, speaking, and the study of the English language.  Our primary focus in language arts class will be mastery of core skills such as vocabulary, summarization, evaluation, and analysis. 

This year, you can expect to read a variety of fiction and non-fiction, including novels, short stories, dramas, poetry, and essays. These writing pieces will model the different writing styles you will be working on yourself. Because we are a community of learners, please also expect to work periodically in group situations and to present information to your peers in groups or individually.
