Author Description

The ideas collected in this 18th book of "Ideas Plus" come from two sources: ideas submitted at an Idea Exchange session at the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) annual convention or spring conference; and contributions by readers of "Classroom Notes Plus" and "Ideas Plus." Some of the teaching practices described in the book are innovative and surprising; others are adaptations on familiar ideas. The book is divided into three broad sections: (1) Prewriting and Writing (11 ideas); (2) Literature (16 ideas); and (3) Explorations (13 ideas). (NKA).
