- Engaging Ideas John C. Bean The Professor's Guide to Integrating Writing, Critical Thinking, and Active Learning in the Classroom.
- John Bean's book is aptly named. The ideas in it are engaging; they engage the audience, the college professor, in thinking and rethinking the ways in which writing can be used to stimulate thinking and learning in any discipline. But the term engaging has a double meaning. Not only do the ideas and strategies in the book engage the teacher.

I've been dipping in and out of this book all summer, and it's one of the best teaching resources I've ever read. John Bean has been a college English professor for 40 plus years, and he draws from a wide range of research on teaching, motivation, and cognitive learning strategies to ground his book. What results is an eminently practical, comprehensive discussion of ways to integrate writing (and by extension, active learning) into one's course. I especially like his idea of 'microthemes,' brie..more

Absolutely the best book I've read on teaching writing and critical thinking skills. The reference list alone is worth the price of the book.

This is a valuable resource for university lecturers who include writing as a part of their course. There is a lot of good advice on how to construct writing assignments in ways that encourage students to engage in critical thinking. Of particular use is the advice on how to grade papers in a way that reduces the work load for professors while still focusing on the most important aspects of writing. Finally, there is also a good section that addresses students' weakness with academic reading. If..more

After reading the introduction and the opening chapters, I keep thinking 'I know all this.' That thought raises the uncomfortable question: If I already know this, why am I not doing it?
Aug 25, 2018Jesi rated it it was amazing
Incredible. Longer review later (I always say that, don’t I?) but this might be one of the most useful teaching books I’ve read yet. SO much good stuff in here. I can already tell I’ll be returning to this over and over again. Splurge on the print edition instead of getting the Kindle version—it has nice big margins and you are going to want to mark it up/scribble notes to yourself on almost every page.
Aug 05, 2016travelgirlut rated it really liked it · review of another edition
An excellent look at how to make writing assignments into critical thinking problems and how to use critical thinking to improve writing and how both combined make for a better learning experience overall. The book is written to college professors to use in their courses, but there's plenty that can be used in the lower grades as well. I will admit to having skimmed over a couple chapters that weren't pertinent to me, as they discussed applying writing assignments across college departments and..more

Extremely helpful to the beginning writing teacher!! So much so, that I'm buying the book for myself. Considered to be an 'Owner's Manual' for using writing as a method of critical thinking. Author offers instruction on planning your course through writing assignments (especially good for when you need to write your 309K proposal), and concrete ideas for creating those writing assignments.

I heard about this book at a workshop on the teaching of writing in college-level courses.
This book is intended for instructors who teach in any discipline and contains lots of specific examples from a wide variety of disciplines.
The book is very appropriate for instructors who have little to no specialized training in the teaching of writing. Yet, it has so much great content, I'm very confident it would also be useful for instructors who already have had some training..more

Really great text for a college writing instructor or any instructor who uses writing in the classroom. It breaks down the concepts and provides research in easy to digest ways and more importantly has so many helpful tips, exercises, and samples to pull from on topics of critical reading, analytical writing, and commenting on student papers. I have written up many new class activities and prompts while reading this book. I am sure I will be coming back to it again and again.

This book was not typical 'pleasure reading,' but instead part of a 'reading circle' with other professors who were interested in gaining insight about teaching practices and student learning. Much of what Bean offers as advice for 'active learning' is probably already being used by teachers who have been in the profession for a while and have been involved in reflective meditation on aims and practices. Still, he provides interesting suggestions and ideas across the curriculum. One favorite par..more

A book that had me thinking 'where have you been all my life?' I have never really like Bean's textbook for college writers as it seems theory heavy to me so I was surprised that his guide for professors was down to earth and practical while including reference to the theoretical underpinnings of his suggested methods. Admittedly, ean's philosophy and approach is a lot like the one I have developed from years of hands on teaching and so it may be his approach happens to suit my teaching style mo..more
Thorough and specific about the pedagogy behind practical considerations for the classroom without getting bogged down by jargon or overwhelming the chapters with needless summary. Plus, each chapter offers practical and specific suggestions for ways to incorporate these strategies into the classroom. You know, basically modeling what the book's trying to teach you.

I first read this book over 20 years ago, and every time I open it, I find new ways to improve my (and others') college teaching. This is a great book for high school teachers as well. Everyone I have ever recommended it to has found something excellent in it to advance their teaching and their students' learning.
Dec 25, 2018Adrian rated it really liked it · review of another edition
A solid text for anyone looking to have a grasp on how to teach. It is filled with examples, strategies, and questions to improve your teaching. Overall, I enjoyed that the text never loses the focus as to “why” we teach and how to beat do it in a changing educational landscape.

A truly insightful and helpful book for any professor who wants to design smart writing assignments across many disciplines.
Has some great ideas for teaching that I will implement into my classroom.

This is the best teaching book I read all year! I get the sense that people in the education world look at anything published over five years ago as hopelessly dated (and, I think, are overly susceptible to passing trends as a result), but this book is 23 years old and still tremendously relevant. I won't go over all the strategies here; I'll just say that if you're looking to build critical thinking skills and push more of the thinking on to your students, this is the book for you! I would reco..more

I read this for a professional development class I took at the college where I teach both creative writing and composition--a program called, Writing Across the Curriculum. The book, along with the other two that we read, was a refreshing surprise after having suffered through some previous texts about rhetoric and writing I'd read on my own in an effort to not only become a better writer myself, but a better writing teacher; while it reinforced, or simply named some of the methods and/or reason..more

This book is an essential read for anyone teaching in higher ed in any discipline that can involve writing. It will serve as a primer for some, a review for others, and a reference for all. With wide margins for annotation (for a meta experience see Chapter 8 'Marginal notes approach), this book will encourage and invigorate you to incorporate writing and and critical thinking in meaningful ways. John C. Bean offers different approaches, and while not all are created equal, he manages to strike..more
I'll summarize this one quickly: amazing. Teachers and especially Professors in every discipline need to read this book-- a wonderful source of ideas for writing-across-the-curriculum with excellent explanations and proof that it is necessary to encourage revision and process over the simple submission of (usually last-minute midnight attempts and sub-par quality) final papers.

Well, let's see, what to say about this one. Interesting to learn about the WAC (Writing Across the Curriculum) movement -- had no idea it had such lengthy roots. Also interesting to learn about research on teaching composition more generally. While I assign lots of writing in my classes, I don't teach it formally. This gave me some solid ideas on how to (hopefully) get better writing (and research) out of students, and how to get them to approach as a tool for thinking, that kind of thing. We'l..more

A wonderful overview of the ways teachers can use writing in their classrooms. Those who have a background in composition and writing studies will find that little of this information is 'new,' but it is organized in a way that allows writing teachers to re-envision the activities and assessments they use in their classrooms. I can see this book as especially helpful to teachers who are uncomfortable using writing in their classes, and/or folks interested in WAC or WID.
Jan 02, 2015Curt Bobbitt rated it it was amazing · review of another edition
The tone and content of this book of advice has potential for any teacher at any level. The sound basis in research neither clutters nor dampens Bean's enthusiasm and helpful tone in each of the sixteen chapters. The high-resolution focus on improving students' writing leads to numerous relevant examples and suggestions for creating assignments, integrating them into study of many content areas, and helping students transfer gains to other realms of their lives.

This review is for the second edition. This is the book that I wish someone had handed me before I first stepped into a classroom. While I 'discovered' many of the techniques Bean discusses here on my own or through mentoring by and collaborating with other teachers, these lessons were learned hard way, in many cases. How nice it would have been to have been to have known all these approaches from the beginning!
May 02, 2013Toby Coley rated it it was amazing · review of another edition
Seriously, this is one of the very best books I have read that integrates current research into practical advice and assignments for teacher in any discipline who want to integrate writing, critical thinking, and active learning into the classroom. Also, if you want to be a great teacher, you will want to integrate those things.
Oct 27, 2011Adam Sprague rated it liked it · review of another edition
This book is okay at best. He contradicts himself by stressing process-based comments, yet assigning grades to his papers. There are some good things here that I may implement into my own courses. However, they will probably be few and far between and won't add anything groundbreaking to my own pedagogy.
