I'm generally very strict during the school year but on the first day I'm particularly firm, just to set the tone for the rest of the year. I'll probably start by letting them know my expectations for the year. Then I'll teach a lesson, once again reaffirming that I'm all business. I know, I'm no fun ..

Then I head right into a lesson. A mini lesson that speaks to the elements that are essential to understanding literature and literary time periods: the dates, historical aspects, technology etc. Then I assign them their first assignment which is to create something that shows their personal era which should include those same things. But that could change since I have a week before the kids return. <br />Good luck with your first day!Shanea https://www.blogger.com/profile/15295239574682024985noreply@blogger.com
