Literature and Language Arts, 8th Grade

Mrs. Poteet will be teaching 8th Grade Literature and Language Arts. Because these courses are so closely related, all homework will be listed in this class.  This will save you and your student time navigating between tabs.  

 

One of the things you can do to help your student is watch for projects and due dates.  Because literary analysis takes time and students read at different paces, I often give more than 1 day for larger assignments particularly in literature.  In Language Arts, grammar assignments will typically be due next day and writing assignment due dates will vary with the idea of 1-2 paragraphs a night being a good way to chunk work. 

 

We will send the year focusing on how characters develop and grow over the course of a text with a special focus on writing literary analysis  with quality text evidence.
