Summary: Incredibly Helpful - Highly Recommended
Comment: As a soon-to-be new English teacher, I was terrified that I would be unprepared for class, so to speak. This book has really allayed my fears. The author gives detailed examples of ways to teach literature, grammar, etc, from plot diagrams to discussion questions, all based on standard school curriculum. The specificity and references to texts makes the information about instruction ideas that much better. In addition, the companion website and parts of the text give a more holistic view of the profession, its issues, and challenges. I *highly* recommend this book, particularly to new English teachers. Thank you, Jim!

Summary: A Must For Every English Teacher
Comment: I just started my 25th year of teaching and I am always on the lookout for new, fresh ideas. That's exactly what I got in Jim Burke's book. You can tell a teacher wrote it because it is designed to be read a few pages at a time in the teachers' lounge over a cup of coffee. I carry it in my briefcase and pull it out when I'm waiting for the kids at the dentist, during commercials of Indianapolis Colts football games, and waiting in the school parking lot for my daughter after volleyball practice. I've also contacted Jim on several occasions about teaching issues and he is extremely helpful and incredibly responsive. I'm not quite sure how he does all he does. If you are a first year teacher, buy this book. If you're approaching the end of your career, buy this book. If you're somewhere in between, buy this book.

Summary: Excellent Book
Comment: After teaching 10th grade English for 8 years, I was beginning to feel like I need some inspiration to recapture my love of the profession. This book made me remember why I love teaching. Burke does a remarkable job providing strategies for both the novice and veteran teacher. The strategies provided can be used or adjusted easily for all levels and disciplines. I am in the midst of rewrting some lessons and plan on using many of Burke's ideas in my classroom.
