Newly Hired

I've just been hired to teach a mixed 7th/8th grade self-
contained classroom next year. I should have about 15
students total. I have taught only single subjects prior
to this - English-grades 7th and 9th (not combined),
Algebra I-9th grade, and Geometry-10 grade. I have a
zillion questions, but my main question right now is
this: Can centers be used with 7th and 8th graders?
Would it be considered appropriate? I'm assuming they can
be, but have no clue where to begin. I know I need to
keep one group busy while I teach the other group . . .
any help you all can offer would be greatly appreciated.
