How can I prepare to teach high school English?

Question

I am going to be working on an emergency certificate in a couple of weeks and have the books I'll be using but am not sure how to start planning with them. School has already started so I'm not sure where the students are at the moment either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

This is my state's site for lesson plans, The Best of the Web, articles on education, etc.  Perhaps your state has something similar.

If you can't Google a similar site for your state, try to find a lesson plan (on the above site) that correlates to a story in the books which you have been given.  If nothing else, you should get some great ideas.

Good luck!
