Welcome to Eighth Grade Language Arts with Mrs. McNeely!
This year we will read, write, create, think critically, communicate, and research with one another. Students will be expected to encourage one another and share ideas openly. We will grow together as we acquire strategies to be better readers, writers, and thinkers. Prepare to be challenged, as I prepare you for high school and beyond! Helping you find and develop your passions is my passion! We are going to have a great year!
On this website you will find...
Unit Themes: A list of texts we are reading in class and unit information.
Resources>Free Downloads and Links: I will upload files of some of the most important handouts and assignments from class, so that if your student misplaces his or her work, there is a simple way to find it. I will also include links to other pertinent websites related to language arts.
Resources>Schedule: Updated weekly to keep you posted on what we are doing in class, and what your student may or may not be bringing home for homework.
From time to time, I will also include quotes and other various tidbits that inspire me in my teaching, and which, I hope will inspire you, as well.
