With Rigor for All: Teaching the Classics to Contemporary Students
Author(s): Carol Jago
In this disarmingly pleasant-to-read book, Carol Jago provides a wealth of teaching ideas that engage students and make the classics and kids come alive. With Rigor for All also offers practical suggestions for overcoming the problems that teachers face when teaching the classics: challenging vocabulary, complex syntax, alien times and settings, and student disaffection. The book also deals with issues such as assessment and censorship and offers many lists of suggested titles and a rich sampling of student writings in response to the classics.
