How well do you know middle schoolers? How do their minds work? If you have a middle child as a son or daughter, you probably know more than anyone what's forefront in their minds. Take a step back & think -- themselves -- of course! Author, Heather Wolpert-Gawron has written a book, Tween Crayons and Curfews: Tips for Middle School Teachers. This article is an edited exerpt from her book. It is a help for us teachers in understanding how we can understand them, reach them and plan our lessons accordingly. This article, however, is the first of three articles on this subject. I'll post them on this blog when I see them.
