The ideas collected in this twentieth edition of "Ideas Plus" come from two sources: ideas submitted at an Idea Exchange session at a National Council of Teachers of English Annual Convention or Spring Conference, and contributions by readers of "Classroom Notes Plus" and "Ideas Plus." Some of the teaching practices described in this book are innovative and surprising, while others are adaptations on familiar ideas. Classroom teachers may wish to customize these approaches for their students. Ideas suggested in the book are grouped into the following three sections: (1) Prewriting and Writing; (2) Literature; and (3) Explorations. Each section contains six or seven ideas for the classroom. Includes an author index and a subject index. (NKA)
