8th Grade - We will be completing a very short final
project for U.S. History. The 8th graders will be
allowed to choose ANY large U.S. History topic to write a poem
about. I look forward to reading them.

In 8th Grade, we will
take a quick look at light. No major tests or assignments
this week!

No assignments in literature or in vocabulary
were given throughout the last two weeks so that students could use
that extra time to work on the Multiple Genre Historical Narratives
project. Through it, students will capture a
moment in history, relating it in three narrative
forms rather than through an essay: dialogue
(finished); a fine arts option-- poem, song, or original piece of
artwork (finished); and a perspective option-- a journal entry,
letter, or news article (due Tuesday, May
26th). I explained it to the 8th grade this
way: this project is replacing a research paper, relating the
research in a unique way. Just as they wouldn't write a paper
that repeats itself, the genres, too, will show a
different portion of the event. Just as they
would in a paper, each genre will reveal the
facts they have researched. Videos were given to
explain each part as well as Hangouts were offered for discussion
and questions. I am very much looking forward to reading
these!
