This collection opens with large ideas about reading texts, written by highly respected leaders in our field: Sheridan Blau, Carol Jago, Jeffrey D. Wilhelm, Robert E. Probst, and John Noell Moore. Their brief but bold arguments challenge teachers to think about how students best engage with texts, especially novels.
The subsequent chapters provide specific lessons, written by classroom teachers who have successfully taught these novels. Each lesson is an effective model for classroom use that you can adopt and adapt to meet your and your students' needs.« less
