                        It used to be the core of the English curriculum, but in our current test-obsessed climate it seems that real literary study has been relegated to a few elitists, while the rest of the school does "drill-and-kill" worksheets. In Thinking About Literature, Robert McMahon demonstrates that every student needs to plumb great works-and provides multiple models to show you how to "do it" with your classes. Whether you're fresh out of college facing your first class or you're a twenty-five-year veteran, you'll find fresh ideas and techniques to enliven your teaching and engage your students.
