[LIT] Ideal Middle School

Ensure students get enough non-fiction to read.? Additionally, have students edit their work or others during the workshops.?

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!
