Hi there! It's Tuesday again, so it's time for some more teaching resources.
As promised, today I'm sharing my full course outline/curriculum for English 10 Pre-AP. But first, in case you missed it, make sure you check out my post on English 9 and – in particular – some of the background on the courses I teach from last week HERE. (Some of those details are pretty relevant in terms of understanding how I structure my class and what I teach, etc.)

Now, here's a look at what I teach (in order) in tenth grade:
Last week, I got a few questions about how often I update my plans from year to year and as the year itself progresses. The answer is – A LOT!!!
I create a blank chart (like the one above) very early in the year for the next school year and start making notes/changes as I go. That way, at the end of the year, I have something I can look back on to see what worked well and what I want to do differently the next time around. I also give student surveys at the end of the year (see my post on those here) that help me determine what I will teach and how I will structure the course in the future. What you are looking at above is my updated plan for the 2014-2015 school year based on my notes and ideas from last year.
I do share the outline with my students (and their parents) via my course syllabus at the beginning of the year, but I always make the disclaimer that things are *subject to change at the teacher's discretion. For example, last year I had planned to teach Animal Farm in ninth grade and had it on my syllabus. BUT, thanks to snow days and other unforeseen circumstances, we never got to it. So, I simply moved it to this year's schedule for tenth grade! (I actually think it fits better with the other works we read in tenth grade anyway.)
I like to have some kind of plan so that I know where I'm going when I start (a road-map if you will), to keep me on track, and to help make sure I cover everything. BUT, a big part of being a (good) teacher is being able to adapt and make changes as necessary. I also think I'd be kind-of a bad teacher if I was always doing the same thing year after year after year. So, this is ALWAYS a work in progress for me!
Any tenth grade teachers out there? I would love to hear some ideas about how you structure your class and what you teach!

21 Third Grade James Tes Reading
Although standardized tests vary from state to state, most 3rd graders take assessments in reading and math. The following websites provide sample tests and fun ways to help your child prepare.
EDinformatics's Practice Tests
The Department of Education in most states provides practice tests, but you can also check EDinformatics, which offers printable and archived tests from previous years for several different states. Because the majority of 3rd grade standardized tests cover reading and math, your child can use any state's practice exams to review.
If you click on the link for Illinois, for example, you'll be taken to a page that offers interactive 3rd grade tests in math and reading. These tests must be completed online and are instantly graded. The reading test includes a story with multiple-choice comprehension questions. Although the math sample questions are also multiple-choice, you might want to provide your child with scrap paper so he can solve the problem on his own. Other state tests available via EDinformatics have printable test booklets.
Online Test Preparation at Prepdog.com
Here, your child can review 3rd grade skills through online practice tests in math, language and reading. The test questions are submitted by teachers and align with the RIT Scale and Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) outlined by the Northwest Evaluation Association. There are several multiple-choice tests in each subject at the basic, proficient and advanced levels. For each test, your child chooses her answers from a drop-down menu. At the bottom of the test is a button she can click on to check her work.
Practice Worksheets from Have Fun Teaching
Print out math and reading worksheets for your child from HaveFunTeaching.com. The worksheets are short, so your 3rd grader can review without having to concentrate for an extended period of time. Each test is a PDF file, so you have to print it out. Answers are included. The reading excerpts acquaint your child with a variety of fiction and nonfiction texts. The math worksheets cover place value and basic arithmetic.
