Mrs. Greninger's 8th grade ELA class is diving deep into the world of literature!
They've been reading an amazing book and are now putting their literary skills to the test. These talented students are busy crafting assigned characters from the story that showcase their understanding of literary elements, theme, and characterization. It's inspiring to see their creativity and critical thinking in action! Keep up the great work, 8th graders!
