I teach both English 8 and Accelerated English 8.  A special welcome to our AVID students. We are so excited to support you on your college readiness journey. 

 

In English 8, we read, write, and speak.  I hope you walk away from this class more confident in these skills, ready for high school and your lives beyond school. We use a 4-point standards-based grading scale in English 8, with which you may or may not be familiar.  The syllabus below explains this grading policy.  In short, it allows students to focus on mastering skills and showing that mastery in various ways.  We offer lots of student choice.

 

Please don't hesitate to call or e-mail with any questions.
