This text for secondary preservice and in-service English language
arts teachers offers a rationale for meaning-centered English
language arts teaching and practical strategies for application.
Its goal is to provide readers with an understanding of the issues
involved in English teaching and specific examples of how to apply
this understanding to classrooms. Teaching strategies are presented
through a series of stories depicting teachers from a variety of
settings practicing their craft with secondary students.
Features:
*A solid introduction and interesting personal narratives
introduce the issues and ideas involved in English language arts
teaching.
*Case studies based on actual teachers and students realistically
illustrate methods that can be used in secondary English
classes.
*Lessons are described in sufficient detail to be converted to
teaching models.
*Multicultural emphasis prepares teachers for the contemporary
classroom.
*Chapters and sections incorporate the new literacies of TV, film,
and computers in the English language arts class.
*Pedagogical aids include end-of-chapter questions and activities,
reproducible charts and worksheets; an updated listing of young
adult novels; and annotated recommended readings.
*An appendix on writing a personal narrative helps students
develop as writers.
New in the Second Edition:
*Updates. All chapters, the bibliographies, and the references are
thoroughly updated to reflect changes since the first edition was
published. Chapters 1 and 2 have been totally rewritten.
*Standards/Benchmarks. The "IRA/NCTE Standards for the English
Language Arts" are incorporated into the text. "Benchmarks" and
"Performance Assessment Measures" are included in all the
pedagogical chapters to address proficiency concerns. A section on
helping students prepare for state proficiency tests has been
added.
*Computers. More is included on the use of technology, both as a
content to learn and as a process for learning.
*New Sample Unit Plans. Sections based on the instructional
stories offer examples to help readers prepare for teaching.
*Literature response questions. These are now provided in Chapter
4 for use in journaling and discussions.
*Glossary. A chapter on important terms and useful strategies for
the English language arts classroom has been added.
