Course Description: In 8th grade English, students read and analyze various texts from Non-fiction, fiction, poetry, biography and short story genre. We work on pulling out themes, analyzing characters and always learn about the history of the author and how one's life affects one's writing. Annotation methods and analytical questions will always accompany each text as we read.
Students will write essays consisting of character analysis, various expository writing and projects, argumentative and narrative, with detailed instruction on each form and real world examples.

Bio: I graduated from Florida State University with a Bachelors in English with a concentration in Literature and a minor in Spanish. We have three boys, 18, 15, and 11 and I have been homeschooling for 5 years. I believe reading and writing are directly connected and the more we read the better writers we will be!
