ELA - 8th Grade
Module 1: "The Critic's Desk"
A simple, instant, and standards-aligned online ELA solution.
At just $29 per module, it's an instant and powerful investment in academic success. Empower your student(s) to analyze literature with depth and sophistication!
In This Online Course, Your Student Will Learn to Think.
We move beyond basic analysis, installing a cognitive toolkit for deep literary criticism. In this intensive two-week module, your student will master three pillars of advanced analysis using our F.L.A.M.E. learning blueprint:
F-ocus
L-earn
A-pply
M-odel
E-xtend
In this module, student(s) will:
✅ Master Tone & Mood Analysis: They will learn to dissect how an author's specific word choices (diction), imagery, and sentence structure (syntax) purposefully create Tone (author's attitude) and Mood (reader's feeling).
✅ Identify & Evaluate the Strongest Evidence: Students hone their ability to select the most relevant, specific, and impactful textual evidence to rigorously support analytical claims about literature.
✅ Uncover & Analyze Universal Themes: They will learn techniques to identify recurring, significant themes (e.g., coming of age, justice) and analyze how authors develop these complex ideas throughout a text.
