In this class our class usually work on the same books together. This class helps me increase my vocabulary, and inspires me to read more.
Course Description
Students in eight grade focus on reading comprehension and vocabulary development. Through the study of different written works, students will learn how to identify figurative language and dissect its meaning. In addition, students will be given strategies on how to compare and contrast the different elements of different materials. Students will build listening, silent reading, and oral reading skills. Studies will come from short passages found in the Bridges to Literature textbook, but also from various novel studies. Students will begin with a novel study on The Giver, followed by a study on My Brother Sam is Dead, which will then be followed by a reading of The Diary of Anne Frank. For others a novel study on The Cat Ate My Gymsuit will be a part of their eight grade curriculum. Through the study of literary analysis, students will become knowledgeable and successful literary critics. In addition to classwork, students will be expected to read daily at home and submit a Book Report at the end of every month. Students most look forward to using their skills as readers to read to their first grade Little Buddy whom they are mentors for.
