Welcome to Mrs. Rollis's  Web Page for Grade 8 Language Arts!!! 

This year we will explore texts that will present interesting topics, focus on critical writing skills, and fine-tune how we think about literature.  Exploring and building these skills will help prepare for high school challenges.      

Classroom Rules:

• Communicate with me directly - questions, concerns, and/or personal information.
• Cell phones are prohibited.
• ABSENT WORK—It is the student’s responsibility to find out what work was missed, complete the work, and submit the work to me. 
• Cheating = Zero; NO WORK = NO CREDIT! 

Materials Needed:

- Pen and/or pencil [EVERY CLASS!!!!]

- Small binder [with lined paper and a means of storing handouts]

- School-issued Chromebook

Binder Organization ~ Two ways!! 

#1: No DIVIDERS?? 

Front = current literature notes

Back = all year notes [writing, vocabulary, literary analysis]

#2: DIVIDERS??
