I'm now teaching younger kids...But, when I taught 7th-10th grade, I found I couldn't do the 1/2 week reading, 1/2 week writing thing. I ultimately went to doing a reading-based unit (obviously, there's writing in there, but the focus was reading) & then a writing-based (again, obviously there was reading involved) unit next. It helped me keep my sanity to have a reading focus for a while, and then switch to a writing focus. _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
