    ELA GRADE LEVEL OVERVIEWS GRADE 8 INTRODUCTION | GRADE 8 The Grade 8 Core ELA Units take students through literary and nonfiction texts that explore how individuals are affected by their choices, their relationships, and the world around them. In Unit 1, Everyone Loves a Mystery, students will try to determine what attracts us to stories of suspense. Unit 2, Past and Present, asks the Essential Question: What makes you, you? Unit 3, No Risk, No Reward, asks students to consider why we take chances, while Unit 4, Hear Me Out, asks students to consider the unit’s driving question—How do you choose the right words?—by providing a range of texts that allow students to consider how a person’s words can affect an audience. Next, Unit 5’s Trying Times asks students to think about who they are in a crisis. Finally, students finish up the year with an examination of science fiction and fantasy texts as they think about the question “What do other worlds teach us about our own?” in Unit 6, Beyond Reality. 2 ELA Grade Level Overview | GRADE 8 ELA Grade Level Overview Grade 8 Text Complexity 3 ELA Grade Level Overview | GRADE 8 UNIT 1 TEXT COMPLEXITY UNIT 1: EVERYONE LOVES A MYSTERY Unit Title: Everyone Loves a Mystery Essential Question: What attracts us to the mysterious? Genre Focus: Fiction Overview Hairs rising on the back of your neck? Lips curling up into a wince? Palms a little sweaty? These are tell-tale signs that you are in the grips of suspense. But what attracts us to mystery and suspense? We may have wondered what keeps us from closing the book or changing the channel when confronted with something scary, or compels us to experience in stories the very things we spend our lives trying to avoid.

The Shock became the first Eastern Conference team to finish the regular season with the best overall record and the first Eastern Conference team to win the title. Their play was based on teamwork, citizenship, dedication and unselfishness. The Shock set a league record with a 16-victory improvement over 2002; and Whereas, A WNBA record-crowd of more than 22,000 saw the Shock defeat the two- time defending champion Los Angeles Sparks by a score of 83-78 in the third and final game of the finals at the Palace of Auburn Hills. This accomplishment was the first time in professional sports a team won the title after having the worst record in the league the previous season; and Whereas, Detroit Shock Head Coach Bill Laimbeer was voted WNBA's Coach of the Year. He led the Shock to a league-best 25-9 record this season and worked tirelessly to instill energy and enthusiasm in the team; and Whereas, Shock forward Cheryl Ford was selected WNBA Rookie of the Year.
