Publisher description
"Engaging Ideas surprised me. I didn't expect to like it, but I really did.
I didn't expect to find so much in it that would cause me to pause and reflect
on my own practices as a teacher, but this is exactly what happened repeatedly.
I didn't expect to find the writing so sprightly an attention-holding, but it
was. And I didn't expect that I would decide to change the nature of the
writing assignments I give students as a result of this book, but I have...An
excellent resource for faculty across all disciplines who long for ways of
improving student writing and thinking skills." Howard B. Altman, director,
Linguistics Program, University of Louisville Engaging Ideas is a practical
nuts-and-bolts guide for teachers from any discipline who want to design
interest-provoking writing and critical thinking activities and oncorporate
them into their courses in a way that encourages inquiry, exploration,
discussion, and debate. The book also shows how writing can easily be integrated with such other
critical thinking activities as inquiry discussions, simulation games,
classroom debates, interactive lectures, and morehelping transform students
from passive to active learners. This text, aimed at teachers of any discipline, should be of use as a
resource for designing interest-provoking writing and critical-thinking
activities for their students. The author integrates the critical-thinking
movement and the writing-across-the-curriculum movement.
