Team Liberty Eighth Grade EnglishWelcome to eighth grade English! I am excited to be a part of your last year of middle school and your guide in transitioning to high school. Eighth grade English is full of diverse reading and writing assignments that will encourage students to understand their strengths and weaknesses as readers and writers and develop the skills to improve both independently and with guidance. Our main focus this year is to encourage and foster independence. I look forward to and am honored to be your guide through this process.
