Throughout this course, students engage in literary analysis and close reading of short stories, poetry,
drama, novels, and informational texts. The course focuses on interpretation of literary works, analysis of
informational texts, and the development of oral and written communication skills in standard (formal) English.
Students read between the lines to interpret literature and go beyond the text to discover themes and ideas the
text conveys. Analysis of the structure and elements of informational texts and media helps students develop
the skills needed for academic success and navigating the world. Students continue to acquire knowledge and skills
in grammar, usage, mechanics, and vocabulary. The course includes discussion activities that engage students in the
curriculum while creating a sense of community.

The Math 8 course prepares students for more advanced study in algebra as students solve linear equations and
systems of equations, work with radical and integer exponents, gain conceptual understanding of functions, and
use functions to model quantitative relationships. To prepare students for more advanced study in geometry, the course
emphasizes the Pythagorean theorem and a deepening exploration of similarity and congruence.
