Reviews

"About once every decade a book comes along that changes your teaching practice, restructures your lessons and changes the way students interact in the classroom. This is one of those rare books. This book is so good that I ended up rewriting most of my lessons that didn't work very well with new material straight from the book. My students have found nearly every newspaper to be relevant, fun and conversation provoking. If you don?t have this book in your library, then you simply don't have a library." Glenda Inverarity

"...a timely reminder as to how useful & important as a learning tool newspapers actually are both in & outside of the classroom." Thomas Simon
