Literary Society
All of the eighth graders have
the opportunity to participate
in the literary society. We eat
together and discuss the book
that the group has chosen to
read.
Sometimes we order
pizza or subs as a special treat
when we finish a book.
Writing Portfolio: Included in the
portfolio are pieces such as literary
term essays, author/poet biographies,
thesis papers, creative writing, poetry,
and other writing projects done on the
computer. At the end of 8th grade it is
bound for the students.
