Some of the units we will teach are: -Reading to identify & analyze Literary Devices/Figurative Language, -Poetry, - A Raisin in the Sun (play/drama), -Social Issue Book Clubs, -Nonfiction Reading & Research, -Myths/Legends, -Memoir Our trip to view A Christmas Carol is Thursday, December 6 (departing at 9:30). We will return in time to take the bus home. Students must bring lunch. $35 for trip “A direct correlation can be found between reading achievement and amount of text processed per day. We improve as readers by reading. The amount of free reading done outside of school has consistently been found to relate to growth in vocabulary, reading comprehension, verbal fluency, and general information.” (Anderson, Wilson, and Fielding 1988; Greaney 1980; Guthrie and Greaney 1991; Taylor, Frye, and Maruyama 1990). Students who read independently become better readers, score higher on achievement tests in all subject areas, and have greater content knowledge than those who do not (Krashen 1993; Cunningham and Stanovich 1991; Stanovich and Cunningham 1993).

  8. GOOGLE, Genesis, & helping an 8th grader • Genesis is still used for grades.
