Customer Reviews:Average Customer Rating: This book really doesn't teach voice. Customer Rating:   This book teaches the concept of "voice" but it does not teach students to find their voice. The difference is that this book teaches the concepts, gives examples, and teaches students to mimic other writers' selections that are designated as examples of voice. What it doesn't do is teach students to find their voice, inside themselves. The students do not go into themselves to find their voice; instead they go to rules and examples set by authority figures. There is a better way to do this. AP Strategy Customer Rating: Nancy Dean's book is a welcome addition for those of us who teach AP English Language and want to provide a valuable resource and strategies for passing the AP Exam. Voice Lessons Customer Rating: I must admit that I was reticent to purchase this item because most books designed to help students become better writers have unnecessary or unusable activities. _Voice Lessons_, however, is different: organized by technique (diction, imagery, detail, etc.), each lesson begins with a passage from prose or poetry, moves into analytical questions, and finishes with applied practice. From there, it's easier for students to incorporate these techniques in their writing. Just what I was hoping for Customer Rating: I just got this Voice Lessons book, and, as I hoped, it is jam packed with reproducibles! Each lesson could take one class period or less, and there is a lot of variety. I was glad it wasn't primarily a book about theory. This is a take it to the photocopier and you have a lesson for the day book. BIG help with pre-AP classes Customer Rating: I teach a pre-AP class, and one of the major skills the kids practice is learning to recognize an author's tone through diction, syntax, etc. This book is a collection of excellent warm-up exercises that develop close reading and writing skills. I would highly recommend it; my copy is, in fact, loaned out at the moment to one of my colleagues! | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
