8th Grade Language Arts

We're hard at work in 8th Grade Language Arts!

We finished reading  the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, which is the longest book we've read to date. We have a few short stories lined up, and we'll be starting the non-fiction memoir Night after Easter break.

We've been working on writing an argumentative essay, complete with parenthetical citations and MLA formatting.

Vocabulary is moving right along. We've worked through twelve groups of words, and will be having our next quiz on Friday, March 22.
