Teaching Ideas: |
What a vivid, lively book to interest sports minded readers, especially young men. The rich, poetic language lends itself to a read aloud or Readers' Theater teaching strategies. Students could look closely at the impact of the language using Bleich's Heuristic strategy. Using the book as a model, students could choose another sport to brainstorm figures of speech and colorful phrases before writing about how it feels to do, e.g., pole vaulting or ice skating. |
