WELCOME

This year, students will focus on comprehension and analytical reading skills through the study of a variety of authors and genres. Students will learn how successful readers think and visualize when they read, interact with, and examine text.  In writing, students will focus on writing arguments, writing informative/explanatory, writing narratives and using research to build and present knowledge. Students will engage in a range of collaborative discussions on grade 8 topics, texts, and issues, and they will demonstrate command of the conventions of Standard English grammar and usage when writing or speaking.
