Beyond True Stories
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This is the fourth True Stories texts I have used in class. Normally, I have one student read a story and get up and tell it in front of the class or in a small group of three or four. This has worked really well and students have been able to use the stories as a springboard for discussions. However, the stories in this book are two pages long, which means that I had to take another approach and have small groups of students retell the stories together. That's why I give this a four star rating instead of a five. My students have TOEIC scores in the 700s and above.
