The 8th graders are starting to read a new class novel this week, The Giver. They are already engaged and full of questions as we discuss the idea of a Utopian society and how it differs from our current society. We will be reading multiple chapters a day with this novel in order to get it done before Christmas break. I even heard from the students that a few parents are reading it along with us! How fun!
In addition to the reading unit, we are doing a short capitalization unit in grammar. The students are reviewing the many rules of capitalization in hopes to accurately and consistently demonstrate it in their own writing.
