GT students

Kathy, don't worry. I suspect you'll do fine in your new assignment. Actually, it should be easier teaching an entire class of GT students as opposed to a combination class. I have taught seventh and eighth grade language| arts for twelve years. My best advice is to spend some time thinking about the novels that you will tackle this coming year. Even assuming you have a great text, don't underestimate the teaching value of class novels. There is such a wealth of good young-adult literature today, your choices are many. The Pigman by Paul Zindel (not necessarily a new selection), Ties That Bind, Ties | |
That Break, by Lensey Namioka (sp?), and how about A Christmas Carol by Dickens. Have you given any thought to Literature Circles. They can be wonderful learning experiences. Good Luck!
