### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Overall a quality text but the CCSS alignment is a real weakness.
  

*by K***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 2, 2014*

So I teach regular level seniors and was looking for something to spice up what I already do with my kids.  As a general rule, I think that the texts in the book are meant more for 8-10th graders than my kids, but the description makes no claims that it is for older students.  The selections do seem engaging and while I have no intention of following the "scripts," they do suggest a variety of activities and starting points for discussion.  I will probably use the texts to allow for some differentiation with my lower level students.  Overall, it's not what I needed but having taught the lower grades before, I can see the quality and versatility of the selections for younger students.My real complaint for the book is that I was disappointed with its alignment to the CCSS; it almost seems like an add-on to a book that was already written.  For example, the standard related to structure has been very challenging for me to teach and I was looking for some ideas.  One of the texts related to this standard is a poem by Sherman Alexie (yea!), but the only guidance for the standard is a single question "What about the poem's structure makes it work?"  The variation section gives a little bit more: "If these lines were typed in prose form on a page, would they still make a poem?  If so, what ingredients cause that?"  These aren't exactly what I consider high-quality questions since they could apply to any poetic work out there.  Add to this that there are no possible answers provided, and color me disappointed.That being said, for a new teacher or someone looking to add some contemporary texts to their curriculum, this would be a valuable resource.

    Great collection of mentor texts
  

*by R***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 20, 2018*

I read these at an AP workshop I attended. I purchased all four, but as an English teacher I use the Texts and Lessons for Teaching Literature far more than the others. It has a wealth of information on writing/reading activities for group and whole class instruction, and an assortment of mentor texts so I can use them with both my American and British lit classes. I'm glad I purchased the set, because I do use them for pairing pieces, but if I could only get one I would choose this one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    quality resource
  

*by B***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 14, 2014*

Harvey Daniels always produces fantastic teacher resources.  I have several of his books and utilize them often.  The only grumble I have is that I teach middle school, and several of the texts are not sixth grade appropriate.  But, that does not stop me from using the rest of the texts.  The reading selections are at appropriate Lexile levels.  Plus, my students find the texts to be interesting and engaging.
