    Post: Seventh Grade to Seniors, Help!
    Posted by: A teacher on 6/23/09

    Hello all,

    I just found out I was transfering to the High School
    level from the middle school due to budget reasons in the
    district I work in.

    I also found out that I will be teaching Seniors.
    I am a little apprehensive since I have not taught high
    school English since student teaching (Back in 2001) and
    have not been in a high school enviroment since 2003.

    I am wondering about behavior issues, if any...and any
    suggestions on teaching the following: Beowulf,
    Frankenstein, The Canterbury Tales, and Hamlet. While I
    have read all except for Frankenstein, I'm not quite sure
    how to go about "teaching" the stories. In middle school, I
    would teach vocabulary and character development...I'm just
    concerned I might be "dummying" it down too much for
    Seniors.

    Any help or suggestions will be appreciated!
    Thanks :)
