[quote=Anonymous]Yes, they read them. They write about them - I've seen worksheets that guide them through the writing in the primary grades and part of upper elementary along with quick paragraph responses and essays in the middle school grades. Our public elementary occasionally read whole books (1-2x year), but not as a whole class novel ever. Projects in response were often slideshows. Literary analysis was taught, but most teachers weren't good at it. Literature also spans timeframes. It could be more globally diverse (I grew up with a homeschool literature curriculum that was way ahead of its time on this), but our public school didn't really teach global history or literature well despite all the messaging about diversity, so it's still better. In addition in social studies starting in middle school they read a lot of primary source documents.[/quote]
