Hi! I'm getting geared up for my first experience with teaching Gr.7 LA. I have read through a few novels that I plan to use. Our first theme is "working together". Does anyone have any recommendations for short stories or online resources for articles for this age group? I've gone through the anthology that's provided (yuck). It's outdated and this is actually the last year that it will be used. Any ideas? Printables would be even better! Also, any good suggestions for read alouds that can engage a typical Gr. 7 class?

Thanks!!
6th grade teacher I read "Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie" to my 6th graders at the end of the year. They loved it! Be sure to read it first; it is excellent (happy, sad, teenage angst), but can be sensitive if it hits home with any of the children. Good luck with the new job.

jdb Seedfolks by Paul Fleischman is a great book about community and working together. I always read it with my sixth graders the first month of school and would be great for 7th as well.
