Teaching and Writing Popular Fiction: Horror, Adventure, Mystery and Romance in the American Classroom.
Hubert, Karen M.
This book, intended for teachers who want to expand their secondary-level writing curricula, examines the possibilities for using popular fiction in the classroom to encourage reading and to teach writing skills. Chapters include discussions of the genre approach, the horror story, the adventure story, the mystery story, the popular love story, and an anthology of student writing in these genres. Each section includes "recipes," or ideas for writing assignments in each subject area. (KS)
