There is a dedicated Grade 8 ESL History class this year.
Students will follow the general Grade 8 content in a simplified way focusing more on vocabulary building as well as developing essential reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. They will be using simplified textbooks and other materials adapted for their needs.
they may use paper dictionaries or offline translation devices during all written assessments, including quizzes, tests and exams (EXCEPT vocabulary quizzes);
many (but not all) quizzes and tests will be open-notes;
all assessments (quizzes, tests, mid-term assessments, projects, final exams, research) will be simplified, more time to complete;
a retake on SOME quizzes and tests will be allowed under certain conditions (but NOT exams!);
a retake on any NTAs will be allowed;
no point deduction for any retake.
