"Using active learning to help students write well and thus think better"
John Bean has written an extraordinarily helpful book for college teachers. He advocates using active learning techniques to help students learn to think critically. How do we help students learn critical thinking? By asking them to externalize their thoughts through writing assignments, thought pieces, minute papers, essay exams, term papers, and many other formats that I had never thought about. Bean argues that instructors should focus on revisions rather than end products, thinking about writing as a process and thus helping students understand that they can always make something better, if they use some simple techniques. As I read, I jotted down notes for my teaching class, ideas on how to revise my first year seminar, and ended up with a desk top covered with yellow sticky notes! As did another reviewer, I borrowed this book from the library but ended up buying my own copy, so that I can re-read it before every semester. I highly recommend this book to anyone using an active learning approach in their college courses.
"The Best Book Available on Creating Writing Assingments"
As a college composition instructor, I am always looking for new material on how to create interesting, challenging assignments that use that way the students learn best as a means of helping them to improve their writing. Engaging Ideas, a book geared toward teachers from other disciplines, has the clearest explanations of the research and soundest advice for designing coursework I have seen. It is filled with useful suggestions, alternatives to writing assignments, information on how best to evaluate such work, etc. I borrowed the book from a colleague and was so impressed that I bought a copy. A great resource!
I had to buy this book for my Methodology and Theory of Composition class. While I find beans ideas useful in the classroom, it seems like he writes in a very simplistic manner that makes me feel as though he is writing to a less experienced audience. (Rather than to a professor). I find this book to be useful for both the beginning as well as seasoned writing instructor, although some portions of the book may seem redundant.
I was suprised to find mostly high school activities in this book. After teaching for 20 years, I guess I have seen it all. However, the book is good for novice teachers.
This book is critical for the Borderland Project Writing, and we recommend this book extensively; guides the students to a clear understanding of the problems we are facing in our borders.
We receive this book promptly, with no delays and in a very good condition, the packaging made a difference on how we received these books.
Thank you so much for shipping the order to us so quickly.
This book has revolutionized my teaching procedures. Bean shows us how to be more effective teachers without adding to the time we spend prepping and grading. The students are more engaged and writing better essays, and I am spending the same or less time preparing and grading. There are tips on everything from in-class exercises to constructing formal writing assignments. I recommend it to anyone teaching composition or any class with a critical thinking/writing component.
