Title: Wonderful for teaching
Product review: I've taught this book four different times in the classroom to 9th graders. It's the one book that I can safely say keeps the kids interested, especially the boys. Come on! When it comes down to it, what do young adults want to learn? It doesn't matter; they just don't want to be bored. In "Things Fall Apart" there's violence and a lot of action, never a dull moment. Teenagers love it, and by the end of the book, they've learned so much about the Nigerian colonization and the destructive path the Europeans burned right through their culture. Lot's of debate will ensue regarding Morals vs. Culture. What is right? What has the right? Tons of cross-curricular potential.
