The texts, written by Canadian, American, and British authors, feature a wide range of themes and literary styles.
"A resounding yes! I am very impressed with the selection of literary works and the corresponding literary focus for each unit. I have not used a textbook with this course for many years, but I will use this one. I also love the sample essays. They are suitable in length, structure, and content. Thesis statements are nicely highlighted as well. I would DEFINITELY use these models."
Vicki-Ann Hügli, Cégep de Sainte-Foy
"Great diving board for discussing topical issues. Really interesting activity ideas. The choice of stories is solid. I would feel comfortable trying out almost all of them."
Sophie C. Nadon, Collège Ahuntsic
"I like the flexibility of the jigsaw activities. If I have time, I will definitely use them. However, if time is short, I can always pick and choose and focus on the ones I want."
