Lit Up: One Reporter. Three Schools. Twenty-four Books That Can Change Lives. by David Denby

5.0

I loved reading this book as a pedagogical tool, thinking about how I can emulate these teaching styles and philosophies in my classroom. But I really think this book would be valuable for all those making decisions about literacy education. Denby shines a light on the innovative and sneaky ways English teachers use discomfort, interest, and participation to widen the worlds of our students while teaching great literature. And none of that most valuable learning will ever appear on a test.
