We completely have the freedom to block schedule... and right now we were
actually thinking about students having the same teacher for reading &
writing, with a total time of 150 minutes (90 minutes for Reading Workshop
and 60 minutes for Writing Workshop).  Students would then have a seperate
teacher for Science, Social Studies, and Math.  
   
  We are very interested in not using a textbook, but doing novel studies,
and small group instruction.  Within that model however, what do you think
is most important for middle school students to get in terms of whole group
instruction?
   
  Thanks so much for the advice & resources!
