Hello Parents,
The SpringBoard books the district adopted last year are set up around a theme for the year. The theme for eighth grade is challenges. The first unit is a study of the archetypal hero's journey. We have been studying the pattern of the hero's journey in class. Students chose an individual book last week in the library and should be reading 30 minutes per night. Part of this weeks homework is to chart the first few phases of the hero's journey for the book they chose.
Students also have a review packet on identifying subjects and predicates that is due Friday.
Thanks, Jim Sheufelt
