Hi, middle school teachers! Dr. Diane Heacox (associate professor of Education at St. Cate's in St. Paul, MN) is doing a webinar this Thursday, March 10 at 3pm CST: Defensible Differentiation: Succeeding in Academically Diverse Classrooms. This webinar is for beginners AND those of you who are already differentiating instruction in the classroom.  http://www.freespirit.com/Webinars

Thanks!

I am planning on reading the GaryPaulsen book The Car with my middle school writing lab students.  These are special ed students and we are exploring and learning about good writing. I think they will love the story and am looking for ideas to go along with it.  The boy in the story is left parentless and builds a kit car and starts a journey.  If anyone has any ideas for writing that go along with this book, I would love them.

An early holiday gift for teachers looking for a film-based extended writing activity to focus their students during the week before Christmas break...

 

It's a Wonderful Life

New-comer...  I teach Jr. High Technology, and am getting a masters in Educational Technology.  My classes opened my eyes to the multitude of benefits of blogging, so here I am.

C'mon, Ryan!

"Tamara, I think you'll find that MS teachers do a lot of great high interest "YA reading" (check the Adolescent Lit group) and leave the crusty (even though I love Gatsby) canonical reading to the high school teachers."

Indeed!

I'm a high school teacher and I rarely do the canonical -- maybe once a year. My students also want the high interest reading! And so do I.

Thanks to Bill Zimmerman for his great fill-in-the-blank comic pages! They're part of his book called 100 Things for Guys to Write and Draw. These fill-ins could be used for both genders and quite a few grade levels. I plan to use them for some upcoming comics-related lessons. If you didn't see the site yet, take a look! http://www.billztreasurechest.com/life_in_comics.html

Two great groups you might be interested if you serve an urban population or have lots of kids who enjoy Street Lit:
http://phatfiction.wikispaces.com/ - A great Street Lit wiki
http://www.linkedin.com/groups?mostPopular=&gid=3190483 - A LinkedIn group for those interested in Street Lit

I am looking for a traveling theater group to perform a play or musical for seventh graders this spring. Does anyone have a suggestions?
Thanks!

Thank you for joining Jeff - there is certainly a wonderful mix of teachers new and old (being a very relative term, of course) in this group. Don't be afraid to ask questions here!
