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
