I am going to be a first year teacher next year and
would like some comments on what to do on the first
day of class and suggestions for handling discipline
problems.  If anyone has any suggestions,feel free to
give them to me.  I will be looking forward to your
responses.  By the way, I will be teaching either
tenth or twelfth grade English.  If you have any
suggestions on some appropriate literature to teach,
please feel free to give those suggestions also.
