8th Grade ELA Syllabus
Join our class everyday during 4th period
Grammar and Writing
We spend the first couple of weeks reviewing the 8 parts of speech and how each functions. Then we get into a lot of writing. Much of the year is spent writing and using parts of speech correctly because by this time you get it.
Every day during 4th period in the English room
Review. Review. Review.....and a lot more sentence writing. Please come prepared every day to class. Bring pens, pencils, paper and great attitudes and you'll succeed! I love this class and I think we get along really well! (but no one's perfect either)
Our instructor: Mrs. Kichnet

Writing and editing and how to start
We will have a lot of little units about writing that all add up to the big picture....how to start writing...what do I say? How do I begin? Don't worry. Just build onto what you learned from last year. You guys know this!
Guaranteed to be Relaxing and Fun!
