Offers activities to help high school students explore how ways of reading can change and how a given text can be read in different ways. Individual and group activities set the stage for writing and discussion through prediction, chart building, comparative analysis, and manipulation of conventional fiction and nonfiction ingredients. Activities are keyed to some 30 texts reprinted in the book, such as advertising and newspaper copy, encyclopedia entries, and fiction representing authors as diverse as Roald Dahl and Mrs. Nguyen, an oral storyteller from Vietnam. First published in Australia in 1996 by Chalkface Press. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
