8th Grade Language Arts
August 18, 2022
Wow! First week is finished and in the books! I cannot believe we are into another school year, but I am excited!
Grammar:
Finish the Preposition paper. Remember the backside is worth bonus points to be used at your discretion.
Writing:
Write a one page essay on what you did, or wished you had done, this summer. I expect a clean copy turned in Tuesday. You may choose to type your paper. This is good practice for college because EVERYTHING is done on the computer. I hear your groans and moans in my head, but writing is an important skill. For you that I had last year, this is a warmup exercise. For my new students, this paper will give me an idea of your writing style. Literary terms from this past week: ( You need to keep a running list with definitions or you may choose to make notecards.)
*conflict
*antagonist
*protagonist
*suspense
*essay
*foreshadow
*genre
Have a great weekend!
