Welcome to Ms. Gaither's 8th Grade ELA!
My name is Rachel Gaither, and I teach 8th Grade ELA at Rocky Fork Middle. I am so excited to be a member of THE STORM. We have a very rigorous curriculum and our hope is to best prepare your child for their journey into high school. In order to do that, we will focus on reading complex literature and informational texts. We have five main units of study as our focus and will embed writing and vocabulary throughout each unit.
Unit 8A: Perspectives and Narratives
Unit 8B: Liberty and Equality
Unit 8C: Science and Science Fiction
Unit 8D: Shakespear's Romeo & Juliet
Unit 8F: Holocaust: Memory & Meaning
