Vita Beata Eighth Grade Literature
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain is an iconic work of American fiction. Students will delight in the sheer pleasure of following the rollicking, mischievous adventures of Tom, a consummate prankster with a quick wit.
As You Like It is a delightful comedy, but it is not just a comedy. None of Shakespeare’s comedies are simply comedies. There is always much gravitas within the levitas, much that is serious within that which is merely fun or funny.
Treasure Island, the acclaimed adventure novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, is set in eighteenth-century England. It features memorable characters, distinctive dialogue, and a plot full of surprises.
Befriend classic characters in The Wind in the Willows—the decisive Rat, the sensible Mole, the stout Badger, and the reckless and conceited (but good-hearted) Toad—as they endure seasons and trials, rejoice in the small pleasures of life, and battle for the sake of each other.
Our study guides train students to become active readers by focusing on vocabulary, pronunciation, spelling, comprehension, and composition skills. Students think about what they have read and learn to identify the important content of each story. These study guides also teach the advanced skill of composing answers that are both clear and concise, a difficult skill at any age. Writing is thinking, and good questioning stimulates the child to think and write.
