There's a lot you could focus on, here. My ideas: Grammar
Vocabulary - books like 100 Words Every Middle Schooler Should Know
Sentence structure
Conversation: Socratic Seminar/Circles
Roots -- Latin, Greek -- medical terms, animal terms, lawful terms etc.
Creative writing (use as a tool to synthesize/identify success regarding all of the above)
Literary concepts that rely on short stories, short films, poetry and/or art.
There's definitely more, but I'll pause here.
Reading comprehension is a lost art.
"Wow, I'm impressed...Yves' virulent hatred of all things Jewish has gotten to the point where he thinks even the Palestinian Authority is too soft on Jews."
I'm very clearly making a statement that 1) Yves has a virulent hatred of all things Jewish, and 2) This post he's made indicates that now he thinks even the PA is too soft on Jews. Here, this book has some really good activities I've found helpful.
You're so determined that everyone who criticizes Israel be protected from being called anti-semitic, but that's not how it works. I'm not going to refrain from calling a piece of shit who doesn't just resort to but WHOLEHEARTEDLY EMBRACES anti-semitic tropes and misinformation an anti-semite just because he also criticizes Israel.
Criticizing Israel isn't a shield to protect walking turds like Yves from being called out for their bullshit.
"BUT ISRAEL!" isn't a get-out-of-jail free card for people who are determined to attack Jewish Canadians and their hard-won institutions at every opportunity.
I think you need this
This book is awesome and perfect for a new therapist. It's written by the girl from the tv show the middle. I gave it to one of my therapists and she loved it!
This pairs well with it!
Previous post:
>They don't really have that great if a midfield and apart from pjanic and maybe Can none of them really fit Sarris playing style
Then in my reply:
>Khedira I doubt will get minutes. Matuidi def doesn't fit sarris system. Dybala doesn't play midfield. I forgot about Ramsey tho
So from my fucking post, pjanic, MAYBE Can and Ramsey are great midfielders that also fit Sarris style. At that moment they didnt sign Ramsey. The fucking Graphic is literally Ramsey, Rabiot and Pjanic. Two fucking mids i already mentioned were quality.
Then in my post that you replied to:
>Having quantity in midfielders don't mean they have quality. The current lineup of midfielders are quality. Apart from 1 other in the bench they aren't worth anything compared to other top 5 clubs
​
Their current lineup, which i ALREADY said was good and fit sarris style, was never up for debate.

Here is a link on Amazon for Reading comprehension. Its for 6th graders which i think is adequate for your level. Buy it, make use of it. Study the absolute shit out of it. https://www.amazon.com/Reading-Comprehension-Grade-Skill-Builders/dp/1936023342/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3V7MV5BD2QPPJ&keywords=reading+comprehension+grade+6&qid=1564096714&s=gateway&sprefix=reading+compr%2Caps%2C210&sr=8-3
I agree that No Red Ink is a great resource. I used the free version for several years with my students.
Here is an idea for vocab that may or may not work for you. My team picked 20 words from this series of books for each grade level. We used those words for the entire semester, and each week each student would get a different word. They would do mini projects for their word and present them. We would also use them as often as we could in class discussions and everyday writing, and I would get crazy like PeeWee Hermann did for his word of the day anytime someone would use one of our words in class.
Within just a few weeks, the kids were using the words correctly in their discussions and essays, and we were having great fun with it. Granted, it's not teaching them roots or necessarily helping with identification of new words, but it improved their writing and got them excited.
The OP also never stated they were going to Amoeba. Seriously, the post was only three sentences, read it again.
Sorry if I could not find this resource on vinyl: https://www.amazon.com/Reading-Comprehension-Grade-Skill-Builders/dp/1936023342/
Probably one of the Vocabulary Cartoons books! There are a whole bunch of these, they're full of cartoons with mnemonic devices.
