English 8 – JHS
English 8 is devoted to students strengthening skills developed in earlier years and beginning to study themes in literature, including contemporary works. Through class discussion, reading, writing, and through study of language usage, students deepen their understanding of literary works and informational texts. They continue to use graphic organizers to plan their writing. In their reports, research essays, and oral presentations, students draw on multiple sources, including literary, informational, and multimedia texts. In class discussions and literary responses, they pay close attention to figurative language and its effects.
