Welcome to 8th Grade Language Arts!
In 8th grade Language Arts, we do a review of grammatical concepts already learned and add verbals, clauses, and phrases to mix. We continue to work on our writing skills using 6 Traits of Good Writing in persuasive, narrative, and informational writing genres. In addition, we practice nonfiction reading strategies.Â
Finally, we introduce some of the strategies/skills that our local high schools will use with students when they become 9th graders.
