This is my first year actually teaching a 7th grade advanced reading class. It is also the first year this class has been offered at the school.
I'm trying to get a rough idea of a schedule. Here's my question, do you think this could work? I ordered *Tangerine* by Edward Bloor for the advanced class. The regular reading class reads *Touching Spirit Bear *by Ben Mikaelson. I'd like to do literature circles with this group of students and was thinking of having both books being read by the advanced class at the same time through literature circles. I'm hoping we'd be able to have some whole class discussions comparing the characters in each novel as some of the themes overlap. But I'm worried it might not go as smoothly as I plan. Do you think I should stick to just reading Tangerine together as a class? _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
