"You Gotta BE the Book" - Jeffrey Wilhelm

Of the three texts that we had to read for this semester, I would place this one roughly in the middle. I think it is a great book for ENG 4800 because it does include a lot of activities that a secondary school teacher can use, and yes, I will be able to use it as a resources in my future classroom. My favorite chapter would have to be the one on using drama to enhance the experience of the reader because I have always been a fan of using drama and theatre activities to liven up the classroom experience. My least favorite chapter would have to be the first one simply because it doesn't have as much "stuff" as the rest of the book does. Overall, I'd say that this was a worthwhile investment for me.
