teaching materials for middle school

[Shelley Costello <sacostel@MARYSVILLE.K12.OH.US>]

Dear Netters,

Before the school year ends I want to say thank you for all of your
help and wonderful words of advice. I only wish that I had subscribed
sooner!

Here's my dilemma: I taught library lessons to a few of the classes
here at our middle school solely for evaluation purposes. I normally
have flex schedule. Here's the problem: My principal thought that my
materials were too tough for middle school level students (I taught high
school English for 13 years, so they probably were tougher than their
regular academic material). Do any of you know of library resources
appropriate for middle school instruction? My library school materials
(still finishing up graduate school) don't give sample lessons. I need
some help moving from high school to middle school instruction. Any
suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!

Thank you,
