In English 8, students are involved more deeply in the components of Performance English. The literature we read comprises a wide range of styles and voices in order to help students begin to find their own writing voice. Writing assignments focus on autobiographical narratives: the persons, places and events that have mattered most to them.

About the English Department
At the University Laboratory School, English teachers and students read together. We write together. We talk with each other about what we read and what we write. We do this because teaching students to read and to write is a journey that takes many years, that does not proceed in an unbroken upward path, and that involves teachers and students as fellow travelers.
