Teaching Middle School Langauge Arts (Featured: Chapter 4)

Many viewers are well into the fourth quarter of the school year. You can see the black and white checkered flag and you're ready for the final lap in the curriculum. Some of you give final exams you prepare yourself, are designed by your department or school or are among the standardized tests administered by your district. My book has lots of ideas for prepping students for summative assessments - ways to read prompts and manage test time. Planning for SUMMER READING? Take a look at the recommended reading lists at the end of the genre chapters in my book where you'll find ideas to add to your list for short stories, 20th Century novels, classic novels, poetry and drama. You'll soon see more ideas at the Language Arts Resources tab and additional titles for you and for your students.
