Eighth grade students are working on creative writing projects as part of their Amplify English curriculum. They write about stories read in class while identifying literary techniques used by the author and often collaborate with group members to discuss the material using guided questions. For this particular assignment, students are creating a scene or part of a play that represents an event from the story, with each student contributing and reading their own part. This approach helps students visualize the text while strengthening their reading, writing, and collaborative skills.
