Wisconsin Virtual School’s Middle School Courses provide three paces in which a student may complete the courses. The students are recommended to work with their parent, school, guidance counselor, or local education guide (LEG) to determine the pace that fits their need. To help determine the pace choice for the course, consider your academic needs and how much time you can devote to the online course. More details on pacing

It’s Time for Exploration. That’s what you’ll do as you explore some exciting stories, folktales and heroic adventures from the past and present.  Your teacher will act as your guide, while you choose the stories you like best. There are a lot of good places to find interesting stories and courageous heroes.  In this course, you’ll read short stories and novels, listen to music, read newspapers, and even interview your parents.  Just as important, you’ll learn to create some interesting stories of your own.  There will be information about vocabulary, grammar and getting the punctuation right.  There will also be plenty of opportunities to use your imagination and be creative. Good stories and interesting characters can be your friends for life.  You’ll find them in every good book. You might even find you have a few good stories of your own to tell.

Everybody uses words, but some do it better than others.  It’s how politicians get elected, how stores sell their products, and how people express their feelings.  There are techniques and strategies for doing it well, and there is Language Arts 2 to help you do it well too. In this course, you will read and listen to other people’s words.  You will analyze what they are saying and how they are saying it.  You will read everything from newspapers to novels.  Just as important, you will discover your own ability to use words.  You will use strategies to create clear and effective written messages.  You will learn how to organize and deliver oral presentations.  And throughout the course, you will keep a Discovery Log that contains every word you have written. Successful people know what words can do for them.  After taking this course, so will you.

Language Arts 8


This course contains a full year of Language Arts requirements for 8th Graders.

Maybe change would not be hard if we knew where it was all going.  This course is not about telling fortunes, but it is about seeing how people and ideas have changed.  It is also about discovering which ideas have lasting value for you.

Books, poems and songs are filled with stories about people discovering the world around them and the world inside them.  Their authors shared their reflections about how people respond to changes and challenges.  In this course, you will encounter the many faces of change.  You will also be challenged to define and describe your own place in a changing world.

The purpose of this course is to give you the tools to understand and express who you are and where you want to go.  By the end of the course, your portfolio of writings will give you a descriptive self-portrait of a young adult growing up.
