8th Grade--5/1

Today we began class with the final grammar test of the year. After the grammar test, we began the science fiction unit. Students worked in groups to develop definitions for science fiction. We looked at each group's definition and the class voted on a class-approved definition for the unit. These are below.

8A: Science fiction is a writing genre that is based on a character living in an alternate reality where the major difference is one or more advancements in science.


8B: Science fiction is a genre which includes technological innovations, concepts or beings alien to this current time period and in which life is scientifically different.
