Bringing together an astonishing range of tips on an astounding range of literatures, this is a pedagogical care package for days when you're 'off,' or students are tired, or the ice needs to be broken again, or you just want to shake things up. These tricks of the trade are more than surefire: they redefine the art of teaching literature."-Scott Herring, Indiana University "This thoroughly compelling book-the first collection of student-centered teaching tools for English instructors-will be useful to a wide range of teachers."-Maurice S. Lee, Boston University "Refreshingly hands-on without being reductive, this book makes an important contribution to undergraduate teaching and learning. By coming out in favor of active learning and student engagement, it positions itself at the head of a pack of bestsellers on the craft of teaching. But it outdistances them by calling on a wide range of expert teachers to share lessons gleaned from their experiences."-Jennifer Summit, San Francisco State University "From the insightful introduction to the systematic collection of diverse approaches to deep learning, this is a treasure chest that will help transform the literature classroom from a passive space to an active, engaged environment in which students encounter literature in new and exciting ways. Every literature teacher will find plenty of ideas and clever tactics to stimulate his or her teaching. New faculty should find it indispensable."-John Zubizarreta, Columbia College (South Carolina) [url] => https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/13281944 [pa] => [series] => Skills for Scholars [subtitle] => 101 Exercises for the College Classroom [publisher] => Princeton University Press [purchaseModel] => INSTANT )
