Course Objective This course is designed to: build on knowledge and skills through close reading of texts combining elements of different kinds of writing in support of analysis and reflection participate in comprehensive class discussions  

What does 8th grade ELA look like? To read and analyze a wide variety of complex text To respond, reflect, or analyze in writing or speaking with a focus on: how an author develops text structure, style and development of key concepts, identifying relevance and sufficiency of evidence, the way in which the writer or speaker uses structure, word choice, and syntax to make points clear, convincing, and engaging To demonstrate a command of the conventions of standard English grammar and usage when writing or speaking To support ideas by conducting short research projects, gathering relevant information, and generating related, focused ideas from multiple print and digital sources to use as evidence whether writing or speaking To synthesize information from multiple resources in support of a thesis/claim, use quotes or paraphrase data accurately, and follow a standard form for citations To analyze the elements of text, selected from a range of eighth grade text literary and informational exemplars, to understand how authors use structure, word choice, and point of view to develop theme or main idea, create drama, and advance the meaning or style of a text To analyze the purposes and characteristics of the major genres of texts Course expectations are adapted from the Nevada Academic Content Standards which are based on the Common Core Standards.

Essential Questions: 1st quarter – The Challenge of Heroism What defines a hero? Why do we conform? 2nd quarter – The Challenge of Heroism With all the diversity of society is conformity worth considering? What do you consider to be a perfect society? Have you ever stopped to think about what life would be like if everything was planned for you and you were never able to make your own decisions? 3rd quarter – Reflecting on Challenges What are the dangers of conformity? What is the relationship between our stories and our identity? To what extent are we all witnesses of history and messengers to humanity? 4th quarter – Voice and Challenges How can one person make a difference when encountering a social challenge? How do people communicate effectively? 10 essential questions were planned this year to challenge students and guide our discussion and learning. All questions are based on the hero theme.
