Engaging inn the Language Arts: Exploring the Power of Language, written by distinguished authors Donna Ogle
and Jim Beers, brings the language arts to life for teachers through a focus on contemporary communication and
visual literacy, coupled with varied genre and electronic resources. The guide unique in that it is all about helping
teachers ensure that students learn to use language to communicate with others in our increasingly culturally and
linguistically diverse society; and to draw upon a great language resource in their classrooms to do this: the
language power of their students themselves.
