Penny Ur books are considered classics and worth a look. I have 5-Minute Activities and Discussions That Work. But they don't always work/  |

For all teachers to read: Palo Freire, "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" and "Education for Critical Consciousness." Also, bell hooks "Teaching to Transgress."
"Teaching as a Subversive Activity" by Neil Postman
Always on my shelf: "The Grammar Book" by Larsen-Freeman and Celeste-Marcia (sp?) |

| I will second the PaUlo Freire books--I use about 5 of them regularly in class with my students. Ivan Illich gets them going, too. Both are way too good to be the exclusive province of teachers. Today my students compared part of a Freire article on the educational situation in Brazil in the mid-sixties with what they have experienced here in Mexico. |
