Igniting Social Action in the ELA Classroom Margaret Koehler Like his mentor FreudThis practical book provides teachers with step by step guidance for developing a class culture that welcomes curiosity and ignites social action.

The authors show teachers how to use literature to introduce characters and worlds that exist outside of their students' lived experiences.
