Welcome to Mrs. Pinkerton's Webpage!
In our 8th grade ELA class we are focusing on Common Core State Standards and Career and College Readiness. Students in all classes use reading and writing to explore complex ideas that they will face as they enter new stages of educational and world experience. Throughout the year we will concentrate on concepts such as central idea and theme, characterization and plot sctructure, figurative langauge in both fiction and non fiction, and persuasive techniques associated with argumentative writing.
