How to Tell the Schlock from the Good Stuff in Science Fiction.

Harris, June

ALAN Review, v19 n3 p38-40 Spr 1992

Asserts that not all science fiction is great. Discusses ways to tell the difference between the good and the bad. Encourages even those teachers who are most leery of a genre with which they are unfamiliar to jump in and try science fiction as a way of opening up student minds and imaginations. (PRA)
