8th Grade Summer Reading Program

The main objective for the Summer of 2024 is to read the selected novels from the provided Summer Reading list.

The SEEALL Academy ELA Department's expectation for incoming 8th graders is to be prepared to address essential topics and to be able to elaborately discuss the selected pieces of literature upon their September 2024 arrival to school.

What is an Essential question?

An essential question points toward important, transferable ideas within disciplines. Essential questions raise additional questions and spark further inquiry. Essential questions require support and justification, not just an answer. Essential questions recur and become continually relevant over time (especially as we move through the 8th Grade ELA curriculum); regardless of what part of the story you are reading.
