I just transitioned from teaching 8th grade Language arts to 7th grade. In 8th grade I broke the year into 6 units and taught:
1) Flowers for Algernon
2) Anne Frank
3) O'henry Short stories
4) Touching Spirit Bear
5) 12 Angry Men/The Tell Tale Heart (Mock Trial)
6) The giver
For each story I had grammar, vocabulary, spelling and a writng component worked into the unit.
Since I am new to 7th grade, I'm not sure which stories I could use. I want to try to do 6 units, but I'm having a hard time coming up with stories to use or unit suggestions?
