Harvey Smokey Daniels and Nancy Steineke share their
powerful strategies for engaging students in challenging, meaningful
reading of fiction and poetry using some of their favorite short, fresh
textsor, as they put it, full-strength adult literature that gives us
English majors a run for our interpretive money but is still intriguing
enough to keep teen readers digging and thinking. Use the 37
innovative, step-by-step, common-core-correlated lessons with the
reproducible texts provided, with selections from your literature
textbook, or with your own best-loved texts to teach close reading skills
and deep comprehension strategies. Give students opportunities to
read and synthesize across texts with the 8 thematic text set lessons
provided, or use the model unit outlines for using the lessons with The
Giver, To Kill a Mockingbird, and The Great Gatsby as springboards for
planning your own novel studies.
