I've never taught an English class where my students shared the same ability level across the board. It rarely happens, especially in adult education. Sinclair Bell's resource is a valuable must have for the instructor who wishes to fully engage every student. That's where I am tonight, planning for my adult level 2 class tomorrow. Some of my learners have strong oral skills, but lack basic writing technique. The reverse is true for others. Sinclair Bell addresses the nuances of the multilevel classroom by detailing strategies such as effective ability groupings and activity adjustments.
365 books, please is a year-long project by yours truly, Anna L. I am a pre-service teacher (a.k.a. grad student), aspiring to build my classroom library by December 31st, 2011. Each day, I'll contribute a work to the collection. You'll find short and sweet posts about pieces such as picture books, instructional texts, juvenile fiction, comics, classics, and more! Cultivating future generations of avid readers is the goal. Your support is greatly appreciated, and recommendations are welcome.
