Some valuable lessons/ memories I have from 8th grade are the book clubs from the beginning of the year which I enjoyed. The book my group read was The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie. I never read it before then and I really enjoyed it. I also enjoyed the Social Awareness project we did. I enjoyed writing about different social issues. The other project I really enjoyed was the children's book. It was fun to write a book and read it to kids.
My goals for reading after I graduate are to be more interested in different types of books. Also being able to read longer and get into different genres. My goals for writing are to write more detailed stories. Also to learn how to format paragraphs better. Another goal for writing is to write different genres like fantasy.
