A Real Gem!

I teach grade 11 English and was introduced to Adolescent Literature as a Complement to the Classics by a colleague. It is just what any teacher who wants to create and foster authentic engagement in her or his students needs. There are so many great ideas for pairing contemporary literature with tried-and-true classics, you won't know where to begin. The book includes many lesson plan ideas that will refresh and enliven your teaching.Buy it!
