Hi! I will teach 10th grade English II in the fall. This will be an adventure to say the least because I have taught 4th grade for the past eight years. I am accustomed to the reading and writing workshop format for language arts. Will this be too elementary?

I will have three 94 minute periods. We are on a block schedule meaning I will teach English II August to December. This is a state-tested area:reading, language, and writing. I will have new students in the spring.

Also, d0 you have your desks arranged in rows or groups?

What are your getting to know you activities?

Do you have a professional book to recommend?

Thank you!

calif english teacher We're going to the block in the fall, and I've heard that a reading/writing workshop approach is helpful. What does that mean, exactly? I'm picturing breaking up 100-minute periods into three blocks split between grammar/punctuation, writing, and discussing what we're reading.

Suggestions? Warnings?
