Eighth Grade (Integrated with History) - This course seeks to cultivate in students an appreciation for literature and its major genres, as well as a grasp of grammatical structures and literary devices. Intensive instruction in research, analysis and writing should provide students with a strong foundation to support the advanced work required by the Upper School. Representative readings include Lord of the Flies, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Uncle Tom’s Cabin.
