Eighth Grade English

 Miss A. Buzzelli

 

 

    Welcome everyone to eighth grade English! I hope
everyone had a fun, restful summer! This year some
of the major topics that we will cover are grammar
usage and mechanics, vocabulary development
and essay writing. We will also be reading two or
three novels and writing a research paper.
