BJU Successes?
Howdy fellow teachers 👋 I’m starting my second year as the middle school English teacher at my school, and I wanted to hear how others find a balance between literature, grammar/ writing, and vocabulary. My school has given me BJU curricula for each, totaling to 3 books, which can all be used to teach a course on its own. How do you all balance between the 3? I struggled w/ just the grammar and writing last year, and now I have 2 extra books on top of it.
Any help, advice, thoughts would be greatly appreciated. May our Lord bless us all this school year to carry out His mission! -

Hi Alexander,
See if your curriculum has a scope-and-sequence or pacing guide—it’s more of a general roadmap than a strict schedule. You can use it to focus on the key skills while still blending literature, grammar, and vocab in a way that works for your class. Focus on what aligns with your goals and your students’ needs. Hope this helps, please reach out if you have any other questions.
