Meet Me in the Middle: Chapter 17

Chapter 17: This chapter talks mostly about how middle school students are changing from young adolescents to young adults. They are becoming more humorous, more sarcastic, and mature. It is important as a teacher to provide students with certain outlets that will help them grow and change. One example is a quote or expression board. This seems to work really well for some. The quote board is a place that students can express themselves through quotes, sayings, etc. as long as they are appropriate. Students seemed to do really well with this and kept it mature. I think that it is important to give all students some sort of outlet like the quote board in the classrooms. This idea may work for some but there are tons of other ideas that would serve the same purpose and have the same effect.
