LA 8-Semester 1

Language Arts 8 is based on the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for eighth grade Language Arts. Students read and analyze narrative and informational text for structure and author’s craft. Students apply comprehension and vocabulary skills in context. Using the writing process, students write narrative and expository pieces. In the context of writing, students correctly apply a variety of grammatical structures and correct spelling conventions. In large and small groups, students speak, listen, and respond to one another through class discussions and oral presentations.
