Creative ELA Grade Eight Student Edition

The Creative ELAR program uses a more gentle, traditional approach to learning. The program provides project-based learning lesson plans to fully cover the content of the ELAR Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and, following scope and sequence requirements. The content has been written, from scratch, to exactly align to the TEKS and lessons are inclusive and provide real-life applications that are inclusive and suitable for all students from all demographic groups.
Grade 8 consists of both Student and Teacher Textbook, with optional assessments tools. The Student text includes, for each TEKS, an opening narrative aligned to every day use of the topic’s content. Key words and focus questions appear next. An investigation then occurs followed by a word wall activity. ‘Test Yourself’ appears where students complete by TEKS self assessment and multiple choice questions and a performance task, many with associated rubrics, complete the initial coverage for each TEKS. TPS then provide by student expectation, an assessment activity. Teachers and parents can then pinpoint any misconceptions and reteach or resolve.
