It Takes GUTS to Speak in Public!
MSW Launches New 8th-Grade Book Talks in
Preparation for Year-End 8th-Grade Projects
Submitted by Mrs. Hartzman, 7th/8th Grade ELA Teacher/Reading Specialist
The Middle School West ELA 8 Team hosted their first 8th Grade Book Talks on biographies and memoirs on Wednesday, February 18, 2026. Students have been reading and working in book clubs on biographies and memoirs, and as a culminating activity they presented a book talk in front of peers, teachers, and district administrators. These presentations took place across the day and gave students a chance to practice and refine their public speaking skills for the Boyertown Community project this spring. Audience members provided students with meaningful feedback to help them grow as presenters.
