[quote=Anonymous] [quote]Maybe, but its hard to have much analysis or deep discussion of themes of a novel if every person has read a different one -- I doubt the teacher has even read all the novels her class has read, so what is the opportunity for a deeper dive there or even to know they read the novel rather than just the wikipedia page on it?[/quote] If the teacher asks students to show evidence from their novel of a main character's traits, for example, citing specific examples verbatim, they are not going to find their answer on wikipedia. This does represent a deeper dive into characterization, which is one of the concepts taught in MS. And yes, many teachers DO read all the books they assign. Why do you assume the worst of APS teachers?[/quote]
