Fabulous teaching tool
~ Written on Nov 11, 2009. out of users found this review helpful.

I am a middle school English teacher who wanted to increase the written vocabulary of my students. I make an overhead transparency of a cartoon twice a week and cover the definition of the word. As a do now, students record the word and guess at the definition. After revealing the definition, students correct their guesses (most do not need to) and create a hint for remembering the word. I challenge them to use the new words in the writing and it has become very successful. Try it!

I bought this book for my almost 12-year old son. He loves drama, acting..., so he therefore loves this book. We learn two words a day, but he's always hungry for more!

Copyright restrictions allow NO copies or transparencies for classroom use to be made. I wish I had known that before I bought both books. It never occurred to me that a book written by educators for educators would have such restrictions.

I rated the item two stars because of the inconvenience and $$$ lost, but to be fair...it is a good book for individual use.

Great book, but this book is not suitable for people ages 13 and up. Many of the words, I already know. There are some that I don't know, and it does have great pictures to help you remember words.
