The first shock you will have is to find that the range of reading and writing development is very W I D E. You will have to deal with greatly differing abilities, experiences, and motivations in each age group. Frankly, I would hate to even generalize by middle and late adolescence, except for that in the later adolescence you will find more students who can deal with abstract concepts better.
I had them read everything I could find that was "interesting" to a teenager.
examples: Ray Bradbury, Alice Walker. Then we wrote every week; we had peer evaluations, group evaluations. We "published" a short story collection and a poetry collection.
In short, I assaulted them from every angle I could think of and then went back and thought some more.
