8th Grade Language Arts
"All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better." (Ralph Waldo Emerson)
We will be using the text The Holt Rinehart & Winston Elements of Literature Second Course . Class will consist of reading, daily oral language, vocabulary, speeches, book reports, various types of assessments, writing, writing, and more writing.
I have a few class rules (other than the rules in RV‘s student handbook):
- Come to class prepared and ready to learn. (text, pencil, library book, binder etc.)
- When I talk, you listen.
- All homework will be handed in on time. (I will give you ONE late assignment coupon each 9-weeks.) If you are absent (excused only), you will be given one day for each day you were absent to turn in assigned work. OTHERWISE, I DO NOT TAKE LATE WORK.
- Respect yourself and others.
Please bring to class daily:
- Literature text
- Library book
- Writing utensil
- Binder
Failure to heed to these rules will result in detentions and/or zeros on your assignments.

We will also have some grand guest speakers. Most Fridays will be “Free-Fridays”; you will get class credit if you decide as a group what you want to prepare. You will be responsible for bringing in your own supplies each Friday. We also hope to raise funds for a class trip in the spring. Job shadowing each semester is a requirement of the class. And…you are welcome to join the Culinary Club—we tour local restaurants and sample their fare.
