Eighth Grade Language Arts

Instructor: Jeff Donnelly

Class Guidelines, Curriculum Map, Class Page,

How did we get here? Our goal in Grade 8 Language Arts is to answer that question by examining the wealth of literature that has emanated from the United States. Starting in the Colonial Period and continuing through the present day, our readings will range from fiction to non-fiction, poetry to essays, drama to journalism and nearly everything in between. Group discussions and individual reflections based upon our readings will help us to gain a better understanding of how literature, in all of its forms, has inspired, provoked, and enlightened citizens of this country and the world. By grappling with the elements of literature found in these works and others, we will continue to develop our own skills as writers, readers, critical thinkers, and speakers.
