[MOSAIC] Any Helpful Strategies for an Inclusion English Class?

[kliddle at twcny.rr.com]

Teaching within an inclusion classroom can be tiring.  I think that 
your best bet is to vary your reading and writing activities up as your 
go.  Have students read to each other I small groups.  I usually have 
guidelines set for all groups of what needs to be accomplished by the 
end of the time period.  Most students do well as long they have set 
requirements.  I like reading logs, also.  They keep the students 
focused as they read and students can read at their own pace.  This is 
a good way to monitor students’ comprehension.  It also gives you a 
break from the “trying” classroom setting that you are working in.
