Middle School Literature Rotation A   

32 WEEK CLASS

Tutor Name: Tammy Erickson

Course Name: Middle School Literature Rotation A

Required Text: 

Instead of a textbook, we read ‘real books’, as well as poetry and short stories. I also utilize children’s books to teach a concept before asking a student to analyze the concept in a novel, so students will also be reading classic children’s literature (provided). I provide all poetry and short stories as well.
