ELA-08.RI
Narrative for (RI) Reading InformationIn grade 8, the North Dakota State Standards call for students to proficiently read grade-appropriate complex informational texts while further developing the ability to cite textual evidence to support their conclusions regarding key ideas and claims. While learning about an author’s point of view, students also examine how authors use reasons to make their points and support arguments with evidence, separating unsupported assertions from those backed by evidence. Students also look at how structure and content contribute to the development of ideas. Reading informative texts has not lessened the focus on reading literature in the English classroom; instead, this reading strand is to be viewed as a shared responsibility with other content areas such as science and social studies. Focusing on how authors make their points and support their arguments with evidence and reasoning helps eighth grade students sharpen their ability to write and speak with more clarity and coherence in all content arenas. Calculation Method for StrandsStrands are larger groups of related standards. The Strand Grade is a calculation of all the related standards. Click on the standard name below each strand to access the learning targets and proficiency scales for each strand's related standards. | |

ELA-08.RL
Narrative for (RL) Reading LiteratureIn grade 8, the North Dakota State Standards call for students to proficiently read grade-appropriate complex literary texts while further developing the ability to cite textual evidence to support their conclusions regarding theme, plot, and character development. In this process, students are learning how to summarize texts by evaluating key details in which the central idea or theme is located. In their reading practices, students complement their ability to closely examine what the text directly says by learning to identify deeper meanings within the text by drawing inferences. Along with focusing on key ideas and details, eighth grade students also look at how both the structure and content of complex texts contribute to meaning, determining how word choice as well as sentence and paragraph structure influence and contribute to the unfolding of a plot and the development and elaboration of events or ideas. These reading standards are tightly woven with other standards found within the strands of writing, language, and speaking and listening. Calculation Method for StrandsStrands are larger groups of related standards. The Strand Grade is a calculation of all the related standards. Click on the standard name below each strand to access the learning targets and proficiency scales for each strand's related standards. | |

ELA-08.SL
Narrative for (SL) Speaking and ListeningAn important focus of the speaking and listening standards is academic discussion in one-on-one, small-group, and whole-class settings. Formal presentations are one important way such communication occurs, but so is the more informal discussion that takes place as students collaborate to ask and answer questions, build understanding, and solve problems. These standards require that students gain, evaluate and present information, ideas, and evidence through listening and speaking as well as through incorporating media. Regardless of the speaking and listening setting, students are expected to use appropriate eye contact, adequate volume, and clear pronunciation. The standards within this speaking and listening strand are closely linked with the other strands of reading, writing, and language as they discuss literature and informational texts and as they work through the writing process. Calculation Method for StrandsStrands are larger groups of related standards. The Strand Grade is a calculation of all the related standards.

ELA-08.W
Narrative for (W) WritingStudents in grade 8 are increasingly challenged to sharpen their ability to write and speak with more clarity and coherence, providing clear reasons and relevant evidence to support their conclusions. While the writing standards specify that students will focus on narrative, explanatory, and argumentative writing, 8th grade students will also discover how to answer self-generated questions through writing and research. In all of these writing opportunities, students aim toward organizing and developing their ideas with specific evidence and writing in such a way that transitions, word choice, and sentence structure all contribute to readability and meaning. Throughout the writing process, students will also learn how to prewrite, revise and edit to make their writing stronger. These writing standards are strongly linked to a student’s understanding of literature and informational text as well as to their language standards.

ELA-08.L
Narrative for (L) LanguageAs they move through formal schooling, students must continually learn how to gain control over the many conventions of Standard English grammar, usage, and mechanics. They must also learn to apply these language skills to their speaking and writing opportunities in order to help them convey meaning effectively and powerfully. Language standards include the rules of standard written and spoken English as well as the use of language as a craft with many choices. While the sub-standards under the language strand are grade-level specific, it is important to realize that many sub-standards require continued attention, grades 3-12; because of this, students will continue to see an emphasis on language skills that were previously taught. In order to see a clear picture of the progression of language standards, open the attached image above; there you will see that students never stop learning about the enduring standards of our language. English grammar, conventions, knowledge of language and vocabulary extend across reading, writing, speaking and listening and, in fact, are inseparable from these contexts.

ELA-08.RI
Narrative for (RI) Reading InformationIn grade 8, the North Dakota State Standards call for students to proficiently read grade-appropriate complex informational texts while further developing the ability to cite textual evidence to support their conclusions regarding key ideas and claims. While learning about an author’s point of view, students also examine how authors use reasons to make their points and support arguments with evidence, separating unsupported assertions from those backed by evidence. Students also look at how structure and content contribute to the development of ideas. Reading informative texts has not lessened the focus on reading literature in the English classroom; instead, this reading strand is to be viewed as a shared responsibility with other content areas such as science and social studies. Focusing on how authors make their points and support their arguments with evidence and reasoning helps eighth grade students sharpen their ability to write and speak with more clarity and coherence in all content arenas.

ELA-08.RL
Narrative for (RL) Reading LiteratureIn grade 8, the North Dakota State Standards call for students to proficiently read grade-appropriate complex literary texts while further developing the ability to cite textual evidence to support their conclusions regarding theme, plot, and character development. In this process, students are learning how to summarize texts by evaluating key details in which the central idea or theme is located. In their reading practices, students complement their ability to closely examine what the text directly says by learning to identify deeper meanings within the text by drawing inferences. Along with focusing on key ideas and details, eighth grade students also look at how both the structure and content of complex texts contribute to meaning, determining how word choice as well as sentence and paragraph structure influence and contribute to the unfolding of a plot and the development and elaboration of events or ideas. These reading standards are tightly woven with other standards found within the strands of writing, language, and speaking and listening. Calculation Method for StrandsStrands are larger groups of related standards. The Strand Grade is a calculation of all the related standards. Click on the standard name below each strand to access the learning targets and proficiency scales for each strand's related standards. | |

ELA-08.SL
Narrative for (SL) Speaking and ListeningAn important focus of the speaking and listening standards is academic discussion in one-on-one, small-group, and whole-class settings. Formal presentations are one important way such communication occurs, but so is the more informal discussion that takes place as students collaborate to ask and answer questions, build understanding, and solve problems. These standards require that students gain, evaluate and present information, ideas, and evidence through listening and speaking as well as through incorporating media. Regardless of the speaking and listening setting, students are expected to use appropriate eye contact, adequate volume, and clear pronunciation. The standards within this speaking and listening strand are closely linked with the other strands of reading, writing, and language as they discuss literature and informational texts and as they work through the writing process. Calculation Method for StrandsStrands are larger groups of related standards. The Strand Grade is a calculation of all the related standards.

ELA-08.W
Narrative for (W) WritingStudents in grade 8 are increasingly challenged to sharpen their ability to write and speak with more clarity and coherence, providing clear reasons and relevant evidence to support their conclusions. While the writing standards specify that students will focus on narrative, explanatory, and argumentative writing, 8th grade students will also discover how to answer self-generated questions through writing and research. In all of these writing opportunities, students aim toward organizing and developing their ideas with specific evidence and writing in such a way that transitions, word choice, and sentence structure all contribute to readability and meaning. Throughout the writing process, students will also learn how to prewrite, revise and edit to make their writing stronger. These writing standards are strongly linked to a student’s understanding of literature and informational text as well as to their language standards.
