[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My AAP 7th grader has a couple hours of homework a night and several major tests and projects. [/quote] Are you in a TJ feeder? Can you name the school? Maybe I’ll mention this to my kid’s school[/quote] Does this middle school still read full length novels?[/quote] I teach 7th grade AAP English. My students read a lot of short stories during 1st quarter vs novels. We do this because the large writing assignment is a personal narrative, which lends itself to short stories as a model. During second quarter we will read full length nonfiction texts and a lot of nonfiction articles. Third and fourth quarter include multiple full length novels as well as some nonfiction article readings that support the text themes. There is more to life/English class than hammering full length novels out all year long. [/quote]
