I used to but don’t anymore because we moved it to middle school. Loved to teach it with the names, symbolism, political ties, mythology ties, etc. We even had our own “Question Games” we played until we had a winner. We moved it to grade 8.

Loved it and so did the kids when I was teaching middle! So much you can do with that book and then watch the movie at the end. You could also make the movie an assignment by having them compare the movie to the book

Ever overseen/managed someone who is basically a peer? They seem open to feedback when I give it in person, but always do the bare minimum/look to other people who aren’t even on the project day to day to give approvals even though I’m their project lead. Trying to keep the relationship friendly and collaborative, but their lack of relevant experience and willingness to follow my direction is forcing me to do a lot of rework and eating into my time. Any advice would be much appreciated!!

I have lots of ideas, but would love to hear about what has worked for other middle school ELA classes. Thanks!
