The document is notes from an 8th grade language arts class that discusses fragments, run-ons, and the importance of having a "So what?" in writing. The class agenda includes independent reading, grammar, and a writing workshop on the rule of So what. Assignments include spelling and grammar tests. Examples are provided of sentence fragments and run-ons. A student sample is given about having rheumatic fever as a child. The class discusses how good writing answers the question "So what?" and discovers the deeper meaning or significance. Writers should find the topic that intrigues them and have a reason for writing about it.
