Description
8th Grade, 3rd Edition
This program uses a fully integrated approach as it takes students through grammar, vocabulary, analogies, word study, book studies, composition, narrative writing, persuasive writing, and research. Twenty-two of the lessons are dictation lessons, based upon literature passages. Approximately every eight weeks your student will have a two week literature lesson based upon a selected book. Finally, five lessons make up a special writing unit that covers five weeks, where students will develop writing skills by completing a narrative paper, a persuasive paper, a compare and contrast paper, and a research paper. Four assessments are included throughout the year to evaluate your student's progress.
The four books used in the literature lessons are:
- Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster
- A Lantern in Her Hand by Bess Streeter Aldrich
- Eric Liddell by Catherine Swift
- God's Smuggler by Brother Andrew
