8th Grade Curriculum?

"Wondering" is right. The best place is to answer your question is to use a search engine (such as Yahoo search) and then type academic standards. However, as a former 8th grade teacher, I was curious what "8th grade curriculum" would provide and it led me to a website for a local school district. An excerpt from their website is below and the link is in the sources page. \n\nIt's interesting to read what's below. It definitely covers the average curriculum. What's not covered is the wide range of electives that students are exposed to in 8th grade depending on the school.\n\n\n\nCOMMUNICATION ARTS\n\nThe Communication Arts class is a required, full-year course. The writing process will continue to be the main focus of study with grammar, mechanics, and spelling being reviewed and taught as part of the editing process. Writing will include sentences, paragraphs, letter writing, creative writing, and at least two longer compositions. Students will read and study short stories, non-fiction, a play, poetry, and two novels. Each student will also make two oral presentations. MMAT objectives will be incorporated.\nSOCIAL STUDIES\n\nEighth Grade Social Studies of United States History begins with The Age of Exploration and continues through 1887 - Reconstruction. Students study the effects of the past on the present, with an emphasis on government, culture, economics, and geography, including a balanced coverage of events. The study of U.S. History and its effects on its citizens help the students gain a greater understanding of their heritage and their citizenship responsibilities.\nSCIENCE\n\nEighth Grade Earth Science is designed to encourage student awareness of the vast amount of order and change that takes place in the Universe and specifically on Planet Earth. Students will study astronomy, mineralogy, geology, meteorology, oceanography, energy and the environment. Experimentation will be an integral part of science instruction and process skills will be stressed. Students will be prompted to question, investigate, explore and hypothesize. Activities may include the construction of models and/or the use of manipulative, interactive and physical materials.\nMATHEMATICS/ALGEBRA\n\nStudents are enrolled in Mathematics classes based on previous performance, aptitude, and developed skills. These classes range from basic Mathematics to Algebra.\nPHYSICAL EDUCATION (ALTERNATE DAYS)\n\nEighth Grade Physical Education is a progressively planned co-educational program in lifetime sports. Content includes large and small group games, skill drills, individual sports activities, and related lifetime sports.

Middle school is typically grades 6 - 8. Highschool picks up where middle school left off with grades 9 - 12. The real indicator of highschool is that the grades stop being reffered to by number and pick up names (freshman, sophmore, junior, and senior).

The best place to look is your state's curriculum/content standards.  Each state chooses their own curriculum requirements for each grade level.  \n\nGo to your state's Dept. of Education and find the link. \n\nOtherwise, there are national councils that put out suggestions as well.  NCTM is the math council -- they have created a list that many states use as a guideline

8th grade, because you get away with everything because you are on your way to high school. i think high school being "the best 4 yrs. of your life" is a bunch of balony

Read Jon Stewart's "America: The Book."\n\nOK, it might not be appropriate for 6th grade, but it is a heck of a lot more accurate than the normal civics or social studies text book. (Do any of those mention lobbyists?) And, America The Book is a lot funnier than most school text books.

You may also give webmath a look.  Math is geared to grade level and need.
