I get giddy when my books arrive from Barnes and Noble or Amazon. Today, four books arrived: Sports in Literature, Shakespeare Set Free, Inside Out: Strategies for Teaching Writing, and A Whole Other Ball Game: Women's Literature on Women's Sport
The two sports related books are in response to not having any books for the Sports Literature class I teach. The Shakespeare book will help me teach my 9th graders Romeo and Juliet, and the writing book is simply to stimulate thought for the year.
Hi
ReplyDeleteI just happened upon your site and have read through a number of your entries. I can certainly relate to the joy of new books, the frustration of data, data, data, and the feeling that we are all working for the betterment of our students, right?! I teach English and American Literature at a small high school in Illinois. It is also a calling I answered after 17 years in the world of Advertising Sales. It is my passion as well.
I will be sure to visit again and hope you'll visit my blog as well. tidbitstidingsanddailydoodles.blogspot.com/
