Educating Hearts and Minds for
More than Seventy Years
In grade 8 ELA we will be reading many different genres of literature. We will begin the year by exploring short stories and articles. We will then progress to reading novels and longer pieces of literature. We will also continue to learn about writing arguments to support claims, writing informative/explanatory texts, and writing narratives. There will also be a focus on grammar and vocabulary through reading and writing activities.
7th grade ELA will focus primarily on writing, grammar, and vocabulary. We will practice writing arguments to support claims and writing informative/explanatory texts.
Welcome!
Chromebooks will go home nightly with each student. Students are responsible for making sure their chromebooks are charged and brought back to school each day. Students will have the option to take notes in his or her notebook or to use his or her chromebook for note taking. Please ask your child to show you his or her google classroom for ELA. It will have more detailed information as to what we are learning in class.
