Here is an electronic copy of the document I shared with you on Friday. This document gives you description/examples of various parts of speech.

Remember: Grade 7 you will not need to know preposition, conjunction, or interjections. Instead you will need to be able to determine the difference between a sentence and fragment.

Here is a study schedule that I created and shared with some students last week. Remember to chunk your studying over the remaining two weeks.

Grade 8: Exam Study Schedule Link

Last week our class participated in an in-text citation workshop with Brigitte in the library. Below you will find the citation document that was created as an educational tool. The celebrity citation two paragraphs are due on Friday. The purpose of this assignment is to practice paraphrasing information and using in-text citations.

Your Task:

• Write anywhere from two paragraphs to a full page that quickly sums up the life and work of the famous person of your choosing.
  • DO NOT JUST COPY AND PASTE! (Needs to be written in your own words)

Use three websites to get your information (not Wikipedia) and use several examples of in-text citation in your work.

As we continue to read our novel in class, we will also be incorporating grammar and paragraph writing review lessons over the next two weeks.

Exam Breakdown:

Part 2-Grammar

Part 3-Literary Devices

Part 4-Reading Comprehension
