Ms. Horton's Class
8th Grade ELA
Meet The teacher
In this ELA class, we focus on a respectful classroom established to build a foundation for excellence in literacy through academic, behavioral, and social success for young scholars to become college and career ready.
Students will read and analyze a variety of literary and informational texts, as well as read across the curriculum using the stages of the writing process to write clear and coherent ideas.
