Teaching English by Don Gutteridge, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Donald Gutteridge describes the unique way we read poetry and fiction and offers concrete ideas about how English can be best taught in schools. He argues that students should read literature in the same spirit in which it is written-aesthetically. Similarly, students should be encouraged to create their own stories and poems through a poetic writing process. Teaching English presents six aesthetics-based principles for teaching literature and includes sample lesson plans and annotated lists of resources. Drawing on recent work in psycholinguistics, rhetoric an learning theory, Teaching English offers a refreshing method for bringing students closer to the English language. | Teaching English by Don Gutteridge, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
