We just completed our first two essays of the year using the My Access program! Students may work on their essays at home by logging in to myaccess.com. The students have been given plenty of time to work on the essays during class, however, they are welcome to revise and edit at home in order to increase their score. The current essays are open for editing and revisions until midnight on October 30th.

Homework The only homework assigned is for students to read their independent books each night for at least 20 minutes. I can tell who reads and who does not during our book checks and book talks. The only other time we have homework is if an assignment is not finished in class. My Expectations
Students are expected to be Responsible, Accountable and Productive at all times. 8th grade English students should always be prepared with paper, pens and pencils, a notebook, a journal and a flash drive. Students are expected to participate and to complete their work on time. It's the student's responsibility to make up in any work missed while they are out. Archives
