By Karla Hardaway. When students are engaged in class, rather than passively sitting and receiving information, they become so involved that time flies. Active English includes a wide variety of adaptable activities that benefit all levels of students, from remedial to gifted. Students speak, listen, brainstorm, write, role-play, reflect, and play games on a wide variety of topics involving literature, poetry, writing, speech, and drama. The book also includes detailed lists of opening lines, poetic starters, items, places, characters, proverbs, and writing prompts to provide endless opportunity for creative classroom activities, both written and oral. Grades 8–12. 8½" x 11". Cottonwood Press. 143 pages. ©2010.
