This is the best English teacher resource I have read. It is full of practical ideas. Any time I am looking for something new to do in the classroom, I pull this book out.

I think all English teachers should read this book. It changed the way I approach lesson planning, teaching students, and my understanding of the humanity of teaching. This is one of those books that should be reread periodically.

I have read both the 3rd and 4th editions of this text and love them both for different reasons. The 3rd edition has a lot of ideas and activities that you can immediately put in place in your classroom. The 4th edition, however, contains a lot more theory about the evolution of English education. Both are phenomenal, both should be on your shelf.

This was actually the textbook for my English Methods class in college. And although my professor was mean and condescending, this book already feels like an old friend.

I think that every teacher who teaches English needs this book! It is filled with wonderful and relevant ways to encourage students to get dirty with reading, writing, and speaking. I literally had to go out and buy more sticky notes to mark the last half of the book. Not only does Burke back up his chapters with research, but he also gives great ways to implement these teachings into your classroom.
I will continue to subscribe to Burke's methodology and research and borrow his lessons and tools for as long as I am in the English classroom! I am sure this will be a book I gift to any student teacher I have later in my career.
