Middle School ELA Sub Plans – Teacher Feedback:

- “This article and matching learning activity was very engaging and meaningful for my students. It helped them make real world connections while keeping their attention. Thank you!”
- “This is a great resource for getting discussion going as well as the included assignments. Thought provoking for my grade 8 English students, thank you.”
- “These articles always engage middle school students and are very accessible to many types of learners. The topic is interesting for this age group. The resource itself is straightforward to plan for and can easily be left with a supply teacher or used in a distance class.”
- “Thank you so much for sharing this resource! My students really were fascinated by China’s One Child Child policy. This paired really well with our Grade 8 Geography unit (Strand A); I incorporated this after the students had been introduced to population density, and it provided a really interesting real world example of a country that had chosen to control the population and the various factors (i.e. family structures and dynamics) that were impacted. The multiple choice questions with the click and drag circles was easy to assign in Google Classroom, and the Thinking Questions provided were thoughtful ones as well. Thanks, awesome resource!”
