Post: 8th Grade Reading
Posted by: 1styearteacher on 7/02/09
My student teaching was with high schoolers, and my first
job is teaching 8th graders in reading. Any advice about
how things change from 12th graders to 8th graders? :) I
know, a loaded question! I am mainly concerned with the
curriculum. Any suggestions about how to read novels in the
classroom? I am not sure how reading a novel as a class
will go.... I know a little bit about Literature Circles,
but I am open to learning more. Most teachers tell me to
read out loud a lot, or to play tapes. I know there are
more things that I can do.
