Raeschell Benoit
Welcome:
I am so excited to have each of you in my class this year! I'm looking forward to all that we have to learn together this year! On this site you can find current and future assignments (including tests) as well as information on the books that we will read throughout the year. I would like to encourage each and every student to spend time reading anything everyday. Even reading aloud to a younger family member is a good exercise. This year we will follow 8th grade curriculum. We will be learning various elements of literature such as figurative language and rhetoric. We will also spend some time focusing on writing an argumentative essay and all of the components that accompany argumentative writing. Again, welcome!
Books for this Year:
The House on Mango Street
Edith Hamilton Mythology
Twelve Angry Men
Be a Changemaker
Mission:
At DMJHS, all students reach beyond their personal limitations to become productive citizens. Our school community provides real-world challenges in a safe, positive, and motivating environment where we cultivate mutual respect, hard work, persistence, and teamwork.
