Grade 8 English Language Arts - April 27th-May 4th

Hi everyone!

Great job of reading like writers last week, grade eight! This week we are moving into the next phase of our writing workshop - choosing and researching a topic. Please follow the slideshow (I've also saved it as a PDF) and use the student booklet as a guide if you would like.

Week Three

Posted: April 20, 2020

Grade 8 English Language Arts - April 20th-April 27th

Hey 8S, 8L, and 8R!

We will be shifting gears a bit this week! Our learning opportunities will begin focusing on persuasive reading and writing. We will be reading persuasive texts and also writing our own persuasive piece. I've divided this unit up into weekly chunks, but in the persuasive writing documents, you will be able to see how this unit will look week by week. Each week, I will include teaching slides (PowerPoint), a student workbook, and attached documents that are referenced in the slides. Please make sure that you read the instructions on the slides/workbook. Please email me if you need help along the way!

*Update - I am also including the PowerPoint slides as a PDF for students who are unable to access PowerPoint. I am also including a Note on my Teacher Page that shows you how to access Word, PowerPoint, and other Office Apps through your student account.

8R Social Studies April 20th-May 4th

Hi 8R!

This week, I will start offering learning opportunities specific to social studies. Although some of what we do in English Language Arts just automatically spills off into social studies, I wanted to offer more specific social studies learning opportunities for those students who are interested. For the next few weeks, these social studies learning opportunities will be focusing on the physical geography of Atlantic Canada, which was to be our next unit of study in March.

As you will see in the document, I have allotted two weeks for this learning opportunity.
