I'm having much difficulty keeping 6th graders motivated, on task, and
excited
about reading. They are a tough crew - a fact that everyone who teaches
them
agrees with, and have never really been excited about library class. This
is
my first year teaching them and teaching in this school - so I don't have a
lot of feedback about previous curriculum used for library and reading
skills.
Any tactics, ideas, that you have had success with for this age level would
be greatly appreciated. Behavior is a problem - and the boys in the class
are
pro's at working together to sabotage teaching efforts. I've had contact
with many of their parents - but it doesn't seem effective. HELP! I
really
appreciate your feedback since administration and teachers here also seem
stumped. Thanks in advance.
