Then they decided to combine two smaller classes into one big one (thirty-six kids). I said, fine.
Then they learned that we couldn't use the big room with tables they had planned to use, so now we're in a small classroom with only half enough desks. The remaining kids bring folding chairs and sit crunched together in the back, while the teacher whose room it is grades papers at his desk, and I hover in the front, trying to figure out how to make this work as, as I said, a creative writing class.
Any ideas? Pair and share sort of works. But getting a real class discussion going is hard, and seeing what the kids are working on is hard, and they can't work in groups to edit each other's work, and workshopping is darn near impossible...they're great kids, but it's kind of horrible.
