Have you ever wondered if the author of some of your textbooks ever actually met a real boy or girl? If so, you will enjoy Ideas That Really Work! Written by a former junior high English teacher, this book is easy to use, easy to understand, often humorous, and always practical. The ideas are classroom-tested and really do work. The book is a potpourri of materials that will make your life easier. It covers a wide range of topics, such as:
- writing introductions;
- understanding plagiarism;
- using quotation marks correctly;
- using commercials to teach critical thinking;
- looking at slang;
- planning a schoolwide English trivia bowl; and
- grammar ideas for teachers who hate teaching grammar.
