Not Bad For The Classroom

Holt published this as an add-on for their Middle-Grades Science textbook series. Stories are devided into physical sciences, life sciences, and earth science. You have classic Bradbury with "All Summer In A Day" and "There Will Come Soft Rains. Also Arthur Clarke's "The Sentinal". kids respond well to Bisson's "They're Made Out Of Meat" and Watt-Evans "Why I Left Harry's All-Night Hamburgers"; Sanders' "The Anatomy Lesson" is also good fun. Two old ASTOUNDING pulp stories, Stanley Weinbaum's "Mad Moon" and Clifford Simak's "Desertion" hold up really well after all these years, and modern students still respond well to them.
