Here is the outline of offerings available for this week's home learning in Lang. Arts:

1. I would like students to be reading 20 - 30 minutes a day from a grade appropriate novel (would love to hear what you're reading; let me know in an email if you like)

2. There are 2 new Common Lit readings available; 'Down the Rabbit Hole' and 'The Moustache.' For both of these there are instructions of what I would like you to focus on while reading them (for the first it is hyperbole, the second is character development). I ask that you make notes as you read them. You can do this right on the website. If you forget how, refresh your memory watching this video  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrOYRzperKo

3. If you are looking for some Grammar practice, I have a 2-week trial of a great website https://ca.ixl.com/  Every Grade 8 student has a unique code that will put them in my class. All you need do is email me or call me and I can give you your unique username and password. Once you login, you can do any of the Language Arts activities but I would suggest:

-A6: Is it a complete sentence or a fragment? 

-A7: Is it a complete sentence or a run-on?

-A8: Is it a complete sentence, a fragment, or a run-on?

-B1: Form and use plurals: review

-B2: Form and use plurals of compound nouns

These are all suggestions; you can do as many of these activities as you like and you earn badges for the more you complete and do correctly. I will be able to see and track your progress.
