Extremely helpful in teaching remedial critical thinking
Without this book I might never have been aware of some of the 'shortcuts' students take in their thinking.Although written about black english, I find many of the linguistic mistakes mentioned are not limited to those whospeak black english.With this knowledge, I could see my students (of allraces) making critical conceptual mistakes based on their lack ofappreciation for the importance of certain words in indicating abstractrelationships.This book is a labor of love; it is of tremendous value toany teacher who wonders who they can't seem to help some students who seembright enough and motivated enough, but just don't seem to understand. Thank you Elearnor Orr! ... Read more
