This course is designed for students who have demonstrated strong abilities and interest in reading and writing.  Review and re-teaching will be limited so students are expected to demonstrate mastery of all information and skills covered in previous years. The same 8th grade curricular benchmarks and indicators will be taught following a more rigorous pace and using more challenging activities and resources. Students will focus on in-depth inquiries using higher levels of thinking and will be expected to consistently perform at high levels. A student meeting the established placement criteria may enroll in the Advanced Language Arts class.
