What's better than a book by Barry Lane or a book by Gretchen Bernabei? A book by Barry Lane AND Gretchen Bernabei. This amazing book is packed with persuasive activities, some extensive but most brief and powerful. As you can expect from Barry Lane, this book is also a lot of fun for both teacher and students. Bring life back into your persuasive writing lessons and buy this book.
Found a few ideas, but most of the information was common sense and nothing earth shattering.
Must read for teachers!
I borrowed this book from our superintendent of instruction and oh, how I hated to give it back! Lane's humor and creativity make for a remarkably fun read as well as offering numerous ideas, most of which I immediately wished to test with my students. Bravo Barry!
Saw him at WSRA...interesting ideas.
