Written for the harried English teacher whose aim is creative and stimulating teaching, this book's chapters attempt to provide inspiration for instruction in six specific areas. Robert E. Probst urges the student's enjoyment of literature as a special, thought-provoking experience and suggests that a model of cooperation prevail over a competitive model; Charles Duke approaches drama as a literary genre and as a creative classroom experience which can expand into a school project; Robert Reising outlines a student discovery method for learning grammar; Jan Guffin explores both expository and creative writing, emphasizing the need for fluency; Bertrand F. Richards, denying any creative approaches to teaching spelling, shows how spelling may best be learned and understood; and R. Baird Shuman recommends methods for helping students with reading problems. References are included for each chapter, and an index concludes the book. (JM)
