Practical for Secondary Teachers.......2007-06-27
This book was worth the money. It is appropriate for secondary teachers (and many things out there are geared more toward elementary). It has a brief introduction to the theory behind the text in the beginning and then the rest is pratctical, skill-based lessons/activites for English Language Learners. As a language arts teacher, my only minor disappointment was that some of the lessons are geared more toward general content areas like social studies and science, but there is still plenty of good stuff for me to use.
actually helpful for teachers.......2007-03-29
As an ESL teacher, I find this book actually to be useful for my grad school class and my own practice. Pretty happy with the purchase.
intellsabby.......2007-03-11
This book is a step by step technique just as the title states. Great for any student teacher that needs a clear visual explanation on how to help ell's. For already teachers in the field it is a good refence book to help them focus on how other techniques can be applicable to thier lesson planning.
every esl teacher need this.......2007-01-19
This book is well organized and coordinated with tesol objectives. Very user friendly, this is a must have resource for all ages.
Excellent for ELL in Elementary.......2006-06-15
I found this book had great strategies to apply in an elementary setting for all my students.

Customer Reviews:
What an easy read!.......2001-10-23
I read this book for one of my English classes in college, and I was surprised at how easy to read it was! Unlike most of my college textbooks, it did not include a lot of technical jargon or confusing terms. The book is really useful for teachers of all disciplines. It has practical applications of writing in the classroom, including both expository and creative. I strongly encourage anyone entering the teaching profession or already in it to read this book and use its ideas in the classrooms.
Book Description
Teaching Shakespeare is a major contribution to the knowledge and expertise of all teachers of Shakespeare in schools, colleges and institutions of higher education. It makes explicit the principles of active learning that underpin Cambridge School Shakespeare and helps teachers develop their existing good practice. Practical examples are given from the plays most frequently used in schools, but Rex Gibson shows that the principles apply equally to the less frequently studied plays, thereby extending the canon of school Shakespeare.
Customer Reviews:
good basic guidebook.......2006-03-16
This book had some good background information about the teaching and criticism of Shakespeare set out in a simple manner. This is especially useful to teachers who may not have had any specific training in teaching Shakespeare and focuses on active teaching methods including classroom performance. There are a lot of innovative ideas to substitute the usual chalk and talk or reading lessons. While not all the ideas are practical or in my opinion worthwhile, there are a lot to choose from.
Shakespeare, Rattle and Roll.......2001-04-11
This is a comprehensive look at the many components of the Bard's work. Lots of detail and very little is left out. It could prove to be a valuable source for English and Theatre Arts teachers. It is so all-inclusive that teachers can choose to focus on certain sections or keep it as a worthy resource (which it is).
It's for the serious teacher of Shakespeare. Gibson is the man. He knows his stuff and he wants your students to know it too. But could you teach it all? Hardly. But you could teach some of it.
The book is user-friendly and it's a good companion to the Cambridge School Shakespeare series.
Book Description
Concisely and in nontechnical language, this book reviews the current literature on vocabulary development among children and makes teachers and parents aware of current research in this all-important area for current and later success in school.
Book Description
There are three truths about teaching writing, one that's widely known, one that isn't, and one that will change your teaching forever:
- the ability to write is essential for students in every subject area
- writing is the most powerful and efficient tool that teachers have for helping students connect with content and deepen their understanding of it
- every teacher, including you, is ready to coach middle and secondary writers successfully right now.
No matter what subject you teach, Content-Area Writing is for you, especially if you're juggling broad curriculum mandates, thick textbooks, and severe time constraints. It not only shows that incorporating carefully structured writing activities into your lessons actually increases understanding and achievement, but also proves how writing can save, not consume, valuable instructional time.
s
Following up on sSubjects Matter - the book that changed how tens of thousands of language arts, math, science, and social studies teachers use reading in their classrooms - Harvey Daniels, Steven Zemelman, and Nancy Steineke now present the most thorough and practical exploration available of writing in the subject areas. Content-Area Writing guides you strategically through the two major types of writing that every student must know:
-
Writing to Learn: the quick, exploratory, and extemporaneous in-class writing that helps kids engage deeply with content, build connections, and retain what they've learned
-
Public Writing: planned, constructed, and polished writing in which students demonstrate knowledge and reflect on what they've learned.
s
With their contagious combination of humor, irreverence, and classroom smarts, Daniels, Zemelman, and Steineke give you dozens of valuable lessons for encouraging growth in both types of writing with subject-specific ideas for planning, organizing, and teaching, as well as samples of student work and guidelines for evaluation and assessment. They also include detailed information on how their strategies fit into the writing process, how they can be used in writing workshops across the curriculum, and how they prepare students for testing and other on-demand writing situations.
s
With writing, you can help students learn better, retain more, meet content- and skills-based standards, and tackle any test with confidence. No matter what you teach, read Content-Area Writing and discover for yourself that classroom time spent writing is classroom time well spent.

Content Area Writing.......2007-09-24
This is a great book. The format is easy to follow, and it gives practical information for all teachers. We're even using it for our literacy study group this year at Westside High!
Customer Reviews:
This book is a lifesaver!.......2004-06-24
I cannot say enough about this book! Last summer, I was asked to teach a creative writing class for incoming high school freshmen. I panicked--until I found this manual. What a lifesaver! Filled with fabulous ideas and neatly organized into 75 lessons (I use 3 per day during 2 hour classes), this book is easy to use, and my students love it. It is challenging enough for gifted writers, but it encourages reluctant writers as well. All of them have fun. Students move through journaling, freewriting, revisions, even publishing booklets of their own poetry and prose. Solid learning; encouragement of peer editing; great progression of difficulty levels. You will not be disappointed in this book. A lot of hard work went into it--thanks to Ms. Brandvik.
Writing process.......2002-05-04
A great kit for beginers in the process of writing very meaningful for EFL teachers
Very Helpful!.......2000-06-06
As an English teacher, I had tried to institute peer review into my classes but was never successful until I read this book. Brandvik provides 75 sequential writing lesson plans that built a writing community in my classroom. My students now know how to serve as peer editiors for their fellow students.
A good portion of the book's assignments focus on narrative type writing though some space is devoted to poetry writing and word play. I was wishing for some of the lessons to focus on other modes--persuasive, expository, etc. However, after teaching a couple of units from Brandvik's book, I was able to apply her techniques to my own units. Her modeling was a good teacher!

A Classic.......2007-06-27
This book was recommended to me by many people--professors in my master's degree program and English teachers. I borrowed a copy and I knew right away I had to have my own. This book has it all--sound theory and excellent examples of practical techniques in action. It even discusses how to get a job. The portions on class room instruction were especially interesting to me because I see discussion as the most important thing that happens in an English class. This book is The Book to get if you're going to teach English (especially high school English). I have enjoyed all of Burke's books and I hope there are more to come.
English Teacher's Companion.......2006-11-11
This is a really good book with lots of great information and good ideas for teachers both new and experienced. However, you'll have to get by his "look at me" pompousness and the many errors. It looks like Mr. Burke decided to edit the book himself, as he's so good at what he does. While I'm sure he is a really great teacher, all writers need a really great editor. The deficiencies can be overlooked because of the variety of quality information. Putting his picture on both the front and back of the book was a bit overdone, though...
Awesome.......2006-11-06
Full of Jim Burke's years of experience and his insightful ideas. The writing is very personal, entertaining, and truthful.
Reference used in preparing oneself for ELAR certification.......2006-06-30
This book is very comprehensive in providing all that is valuable in teaching English and Language Arts. I used it has my second resource to prepare me to take the TEXES #117 ELAR 4-8 state exam. I plan on using it to guide me in lesson plan design.
Excellent reference book and motivator.......2006-05-28
This is one of the few accessible and important books for English Teachers. It provides ideas for all levels of English teaching. It should be part of any English teacher's library, although it is a bit pricy. Nevertheless it's well worth it.
