After teaching high school for 20 years, I was a little nervous about my new middle school teaching assignment. Then I realized it’s kind of the same as teaching high school, except students are smaller and the stories are different.
The skills, however, remain the same–just at a different level.
And of course the learning target stays the same: “I can cite textual evidence to support analysis.”
You mean, middle school students are capable of citing textual evidence and analyzing literature?
They are with this “Eleven” by Sandra Cisneros lesson plan.
