If You Teach It, They Will Read - Literature's Life Lessons for Today's Students
What does it mean to 'teach' a poem, novel or play? Surely it is about lessons in comprehension and improvements in language facility, but what does literature teach us beyond literacy? Students can read substantive literature for what its authors intended: an insight into the human condition. Students, even those who appear indifferent, struggle with questions of right and wrong, good and evil, love and loss, self-interest and self-sacrifice. Using literature he has used with his students, MacLean insists that asking the right questions, discussing ideas that still matter, will show students that others have wrestled with the same issues, expressing that struggle in timeless stories.
Questions about writing pop up all the time, and we don't always have the answers. When do I capitalize the word 'mother'? What's the correct abbreviation for 'ounce'? The Writer's Handbook has all kinds of answers to questions about writing. It covers rules for spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and grammar.
