Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Carol Rawlings Miller leads us--and in turn our students--into urgent conversations that have become all too scarce in many classrooms in recent years, places where the curriculum has become all too safe, too plain. When she pairs Martin Luther King and Shakespeare, there is a resounding cymbal crash in the head, as there is when Miller serves up speeches by Susan Sontag and George W. Bush. A stranger set of bedfellows has not been seen in some time. Miller has created a course of study that will bring back to the classroom something of the fire it once had but which recent movements have dampened. --Jim Burke Author of TheEnglish Teacher's Companion, Third Edition   What do Arnold Schwarzenegger and Barack Obama have in common? When it comes to helping students become savvy about genre, rhetoric, and language: everything. In Strange BedfellowsCarol Rawlings Miller pairs short pieces by famous writers and speakers for side-by-side discussion and frames these pairs in lessons that help students meet a variety of curricular goals.   With Strange Bedfellowsyour students will study the traits of effective writing and persuasion. They'll also sharpen their critical-reading skills through exposure to a variety of texts and authors: Martin Luther King, Jr., and William Shakespeare Barack Obama and Arnold Schwarzenegger George W. Bush and Susan Sontag Jonathan Swift and Leonard Lewin Joseph Mitchell and Orhan Pamuk. Miller saves you hours of prep time. She's built ready-to-use, discussion-based lessons around each literary odd couple that help students think critically and find solid approaches to more complicated texts. In each lesson you'll find that: Every text is line-numbered for easy reference during discussion. Key definitions and contextual notes at point of use support deeper understanding. Discussion points, questions for readers, and writing activities accompany each lesson. Blackline masters of all texts and student forms are in the book.   From the Bard to Barack. From the Maginot Line to the World Trade Center. With Strange Bedfellowsit's never been easier to find high-quality instruction that engages students with top-notch, real-world texts. …

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In an era of decreasing commitment to literacy . . . it is no surprise that most students, too, are bypassing books. So wrote English teacher Jim Burke in a seminal letter to the San Francisco Chronicle-seminal because of the astounding response that ensued when he invited readers to write to my high school students about your experiences with books, perhaps telling them what role books and literature have played in your life. More than one thousand pages of letters came pouring in. The best are collected in this funny, poignant, and inspiring book.As poet Muriel Rukeyser wrote, Our lives are not made up of atoms. They are made of stories, and here we find plenty of them-stories from librarians and celebrities, nuns and felons, cattle ranchers and artists, second graders and septuagenarians. Through their experiences, we become enveloped in a rich tapestry of life. And isn't that the miracle of reading itself, its ability to inspire us across the full spectrum of humanity? Each letter is preceded by an insightful quote from a famous person musing on the power of books. The appendixes feature extensive lists of recommended books for all types of readers, including lists broken into categories like Ten Books We Should All Read Before Childhood Ends and Ten Books a Teenage Boy Would Want to Read.…
