I need some help teachers… I currently have a 10th grade class that has varied abilities. It is a blended class, with about 1/3 of the students classified, most with reading and writing goals. There are also five students who were in Honors English last year, but chose not to take it this year, and then the rest of the class who seem to hold their own and put forth great effort. My question is this: has anyone ever taught 2 separate novels in the same class? The five students that were in honors last year, are beginning to complain about the simplicity in the class. I’d like to challenge them, but not overwhelm the classified students or the other students who might get lost with a more difficult novel. The special ed teacher and I were tossing the idea around of teaching 2 separate novels. Any suggestions or feedback? Thanks for your help!

My wife is a literacy teacher in elementary. You may do some research on literacy lab (lit circles). She loves it. Students read and discuss books amongst themselves. The teacher is the moderator.
Good luck
