Question:
I was just tossed an Honors 9th grade English class today.
I've always taught regular 9th grade, and now I have an honors
in the mix. Question: When you have both, are you able to
plan many of the class activities together, or do you plan
them as totally seperate entities?
Answer:
I have taught honors and regular level sections of the same courses many
times. I usually don't plan activities together. I plan the two courses
as completely separate. Usually, since the honors class moves at a
faster pace (in math, we generally "go through the book", with some
adaptations and supplementing), I am sometimes able to use some of the
notes, examples and activities that I devised for the honors section
with my "regular" students. I usually have to do more coaching and
adaptation with the regular students when I try to use those activities
