Eighteen original stories about the “lives” of the undead
From vampires to mummy con artists, this lively collection explores the many forms the undead can take in stories that range from the chilling to the hysterical. There are those who people the Afterlife, others who wander the lands of the living in ghostly form, and even those who walk about in the flesh.
For anyone who’s ever wondered if the grass is greener on the other side of this mortal coil, this collection will provide a wide range of intriguing answers from those who are undead...and loving it!
In Teaching Literature scholars explain how they think about their everyday experience in the classroom, using the tools of their ongoing scholarly projects and engaging with current debates in literary studies. Until recently, teaching has played second fiddle to literary research as a mode of knowledge in academia, leaving new teachers with nowhere to turn for advice about teaching and no forum for discussion of the difficulties and opportunities they face in the classroom.
Based on scenes from five popular films (Dances with Wolves, Gone with the Wind, To Kill a Mockingbird, When Harry Met Sally, and Casablanca), this listening/speaking text develops students' abilities to comprehend authentic material while presenting culturally relevant ideas about people, minority issues, language, and gender. Includes readings with discussion questions, pre- and post-viewing questions about the film, and follow-up activities.
