Year 8 English Essentials
Students in English Essentials have been honing their reading skills; learning and revising key reading strategies to improve comprehension and retention. Students are looking for facts and details in descriptions, quotations and lists within a text to help understand the main idea. Here they are collaboratively using a graphic organiser – a facts-and-details web – to help keep track when reading articles, essays and other nonfiction and fiction selections.
