Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Great for Alternative Education settings
This book is a wonderful anthology of short stories that connect well to any student, including those labeled "at-risk." I use these books in grades 6-10 because the assignments can be easily modified and the questions at the end of each of the stories are higher order. Students can relate to the characters and situations. "Teenage Wasteland" is great for the older students, while the story "Eleven" makes my middle schoolers evaluate their actions. My favorite story is "The Scarlet Ibis," as it is a wonderful say to teach symbolism and consequences. I recommend this collection for any teacher who wants students to think in more complex ways and accelerate reading skills.



Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - An appropriate book for a teacher with very juvenile student
I got this book because I compete in speech and thought it might help me, however I was very mistaken. This book has some good thought-provoking questions, and good activities, however, these activities and questions are really meant for intermediate or middle school readers. I did not like this book because it wasn't what I was looking for; I do think it would be helpful for 5th-7th or 8th graders.
