8th+Grade+ALPS+L.A.

Welcome to 8th Grade ALPS Language Arts! ! We are going to have an exciting and productive year as part of a great 8th grade team including science (Mr. Monson) and U.S. history (Ms. Hogan). We will continue to develop reading comprehension; writing, revision, and editing skills; inquiry and research skills; and literature appreciation. As always, critical thinking and learning about yourself and the world around you are important components when developing these skills. We will be covering a rigorous schedule to prepare you for your future language arts education which will include both 8th and 9th grade curriculum.
