What's Happening This Week in 8th Grade???

English Language Arts

  • Read 180 (Romberg/Durrence): In READ 180, we continue with Workshop 8- “Follow the Money.” In whole and small group, we will work on creating inferences, context clues, analyze cause and effect, and work with affixes. In independent reading, scholars will read books on their Lexile level from the READ 180 library and complete reading logs. In APP, scholars will independently work on selected APP segments to close learning gaps and complete APP logs. Scholars should have completed a total of 3 segments, 3 novels, and 3 EReads by Dec. 12th. As a reminder, scholars will complete the Reading MAP Assessment on Wednesday, 12/4.
  • 8th Grade ELA (Hills): This week in 8th Grade ELA, scholars will prepare to take the Winter MAP Assessment (Wednesday, 12/4). We will use the data from this assessment to further differentiate instruction for each scholar to ensure that we meet our achievement and growth goals by the end of the school year. We will also continue our study over persuasion and analyzing informational texts. Scholars need to be reminded that their Unit 3 summative assessment (debate) will be due on the date that they signed up for earlier in November.
  • 9th Grade Lit & Comp (Hills/Romberg): Lit and Comp will continue Unit 2: Justice and Equality. Scholars have been loaned copies of the novel To Kill a Mockingbird (TKAM) to use for the unit. Scholars will work on comparing text activities and finish with literary activities from TKAM. The county-wide post-test for Unit 2 will be on Monday, Dec. 9th and the Semester Exam will be on Thursday, Dec. 12th. Lastly, scholars will take the Reading MAP Assessment on Wednesday, 12/4.

Science

  • 8th Grade Science (Herndon/Winkworth/Beasley, Joyner): Scholars will learn about energy transformations using mechanical energy, electrical energy, and magnetic forces. Scholars will learn how magnetic forces work and how we use those forces to affect our lives. They will learn the basic principles of how to create and use electromagnets, generators, and motors. Electromagnets use electrical energy to create a magnetic force. Motors use magnetic forces to transform electrical energy into mechanical energy. Generators use magnetic forces to transform mechanical energy into electrical energy.
  • Herndon's Tutorial: Thursday's 3:35-4:30

Social Studies:

  • 8th Grade Georgia Studies (Sanchez/Styron/Beasley/Joyner): We hope everyone had a nice break! This week we will begin studying the causes of the Civil War. We will discuss topics such as slavery, tariffs, states rights, the Compromise of 1850, the Dred Scott decision, and the 1860 election of Abraham Lincoln. Our week will be busy with an online simulation, notes, map activities, and watching related videos. It’s great to be back!
