4.0 out of 5 stars
Information Galore,
By A Customer
This review is from: Teaching the Short Story: A Guide to Using Stories from Around the World (Paperback)
"Teaching the Short Story, A Guide to Using Stories from Around the World," is a great book with a lot of useful information; however, it could be organized a little better. The book begins with an introduction that explains the benefit of using short stories to illustrate universal themes. After, the reader is led to the annotations that are alphabetized by the author's last name from countries around the world. Because many teachers who teach English are not familiar with these authors it would seem beneficial to have the annotations organized by country, and then within each of these sections, alphabetize by name. The Best part of the book by far is the index. The back of the book has an index for the titles of short stories from around the world, suggested comparison-themes and a cross-reference guide for stories taught in English. If you take the time to carefully look through this book you will realize that you've found a treasure,however, at first it seems to be everywhere.
