In 8th Grade English, students will get the opportunity to read great works of literature (see list below) and discuss them with their peers. They will be steeped in the themes of becoming a man of integrity, growing up and loving your parents, and seeking adventures. Students will also learn about the art of writing and practice it regularly, either through specific writing assignments or within the framework of another activity. Students will also have the chance to read, memorize, and recite extraordinary poems throughout the year, which will also be commented on and discussed in class.
