Dan McDermott, 8th Grade Language Arts

(in the process of updating)

Eighth grade language arts offers students a year of deepening comprehension through the use of multiple types of text, including novels, short stories, and informational text. In addition, there will be essays and research papers written in preparation for high school along with other typical language arts activities.

To join Remind101 for this class, follow these instructions: To receive messages via text, text @mcd8bailey to 81010. You can opt-out of messages at anytime by replying, 'unsubscribe @mcd8bailey'. Trouble using 81010? Try texting @mcd8bailey to (919) 926-9296 instead. I will not see any phone numbers, and this is not my personal number, but one set up by the website. If you’re unfamiliar with Remind101, it is a teacher sent message for simple reminders of homework, deadlines, etc. for the specific class.

I am big on keeping communication open through the year, as email is the best way to keep in touch if necessary. I’ll keep my wiki updated as much possible on a daily basis once the school year begins, as you’ll find much necessary information and documents on the wiki. I also have two young children, four years old and eight months old, as I won’t be readily available in the evenings to respond to emails immediately.

Supplies: A three-subject notebook with a hard cover (will be used for notes, writing, warm-ups), typical writing supplies, loose-leaf notebook paper (doesn’t matter college or not), glue sticks.

Wish List: Hand Sanitizer, Tissues, Lysol Wipes.
