A Preview of What's in Store

I was just about to upload my first packet of documents, over ninety pages of parts of speech highlight sheets, exercises, answers sheets, quizzes and tests all in the form of amusing stories appropriate to middle school, when I realized that the first packet to be posted on the TpT website should quite appropriately be free to all comers and relatively short.  As a result, I had to hold back on the parts of speech packet while I created a literature packet on teaching John Updike's "A & P" to seventh and eighth graders and high school students.  I will be posting that packet, which consists of a note to the teacher, a blank story chart, a blank set of question sheets, a completed story chart and a completed set of question sheets, this weekend.  I am also planning grammar packets on parts of a sentence, phrases and clauses and types of sentences, once again all in the form of stories.  I will also be posting literature packets on William Gibson's The Miracle Worker and on Rebecca Stead's When You Reach Me.  Sorry this is taking me so long, but I am starting a new business tutoring students in writing, which is also very exciting!  Thanks for your patience.  The wait will be worth your trouble, I hope.
