literature

We will be using the Mosdos curriculum for much of our literature study additionally supplementing with novel studies throughout the school year. We will be reading an array of genres and learning to analyze the texts by exploring theme, setting, character, plot, and more.

Writing and speech will be assigned on a regular basis and will often be related to the class literature reading.

grammar

Grammar for 8th grade will be completed daily with a total of five lessons each week. Every lesson will cover a variety of subjects but will follow a common format. The items will largely be review of subject matter covered in previous years. Tests in grammar will be given every other week.
