This I Believe
This is a brief overview of what I believe about middle schools and their students.

Academic Language
Given the opportunity to teach a lesson on Academic Language at Gainesville Middle School, I recently taught a 6th Grade Social Studies class useful map skills with content-specific vocabulary. On the "Academic Language" page, you will see the lesson plan and a teaching analysis commentary for the lesson. If you follow the green "Documents" tab, you will have access to downloadable files including my pre-assessment, post-assessment, lesson plan, and other resources. There is also a feedback forum for the lesson!

As a ling from that page, you will also see my stance on issues that adolescents face such as peer pressure to do drugs and alcohol. |
