English Teacher's Survival Guide: Ready-to-Use Techniques & Materials for Grades 7-12

I just got this book and had a great time looking at all of the suggestions. The text is very straight-forward and while you can create most of these items yourself, it is nice to have high-quality materials already made and ready to duplicate. Also, the book incorporates questions that one may not think to include in his or her own worksheet creations. There are many examples and useful tidbits for teachers. I would recommend this book to new teachers like myself and veterans whom are looking for different methods to teach English. I look forward to putting these exercises and suggestions to use when the school year starts!

This book is wonderful for new teachers...it is the third copy I have purchased because I keep lending it to newbies and then never seem to get it back. I know this book saved me my first year of teaching...especially being hired less then a week before school started.

This book is great, esp. for the news teacher. Should be augmented w. other resources that include course handouts and activities.

I've been online searching for books to use in the classroom, I was happy when I found this one. It'll serve me well.

What I liked most about this book is that Brandevik used easy to follow steps and multiple ideas to teach English to students. After browsing through the book, the ideas and techniques the author used were refreshing.I will be using this book as a guide in my classroom! I truly believe that this survival guide is a lifesaver for English teachers and students. I also like how an educator can make copies of vital information, lessons, activities, etc from the manual.
