Grade Eight Basics

Description

I’m so pleased to begin offering my Waldorf grade eight materials and it all starts with this collection of essential eighth grade documents.

This is not a specific curriculum guide, but a collection of digitally downloadable documents that give a picture of the year as a whole, summaries of the blocks and include some of the most important documents that will give you a framework for your work for the year.

• Waldorf Grade eight weekly schedule
• Waldorf Grade eight main lesson rhythm (including my thoughts about the how and why)
• Waldorf Grade eight block rotation (including thoughts about how to create one of your own)
• The Upper Grades morning verse, and my thoughts for enlivening it
• A curriculum overview, with summaries of the 8th grade main lesson blocks
• Main Lesson Page tracker, with a rubric for giving your students feedback on their work

Along with these essential documents, I’ve included my guide for leading your students through an 8th grade project. This guide includes summaries and photos with samples of my own students’ projects, as well as a timeline and all of the assignment documents that kept them on track.
