This course is designed to help 8th grade students develop their reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. In this course, students will read and analyze various forms of written text, while they continue to develop their grammar and writing skills. Emphasis will be placed on informative, argumentative, and narrative writing, but we will also address other forms of writing such as descriptive, creative, and persuasive writing.
