Book

Lit up : one reporter, three schools, twenty-four books that can change lives

Denby, David, 1943- author

Overview

\"It's no secret that millions of American teenagers ... don't read seriously--they associate sustained reading with duty or work, not with pleasure. This indifference has become a grievous loss to our standing as a great nation--and a personal loss, too, for millions of teenagers who may turn into adults with limited understanding of themselves and the world. Can teenagers be turned on to serious reading? What kind of teachers can do it, and what books? To find out, Denby sat in on a tenth-grade English class in a demanding New York public school for an entire academic year, and made frequent visits to a troubled inner-city public school in New Haven and to a respected public school in Westchester County\"-- Provided by publisher.
