Grammar is a set of rules which govern how words are used in spoken and written language and how the sound, structure and meaning of sentences are formed. In 8th grade, grammar is focused more on developing mastery of the key skills which underpin all aspects of language proficiency; the ability to integrate individual components into meaningful communication. In 8th grade, students will often work on refining their skills with topics such as word forms, sentence structure, usage and punctuation. They may also learn about such topics as verbs and verb phrases, nouns and noun phrases, pronouns and adjectives, adverbs and conjunctions, capitalization and the structure of proper sentences. Grammar lessons should also include activities that build upon student's creative synthesis of language with creative thinking. This will involve writing assignments, reading and memorizing literature, debates, discussions and collaborative writing projects.
