[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You never had sustained silent reading? With all the distractions outside of school, it’s nice to “force” a nonnegotiable time and space to read. With jobs, extracurriculars, sports, social media/video game temptations, and chaotic/noisy home lives, it can be helpful to provide some time to read. Independent reading IS productive, it’s not a study hall. Don’t we want them reading at school?! [/quote] That seems inappropriate for a high-school level course, particularly a supposedly “honors” course but even an on-level one. Students in high school should be expected to read materials outside of class and come prepared to discuss and write. [/quote] Okay, but they don’t. Even the top kids. So what do you suggest? How do they discuss the reading if no one has done it? At least if there’s some time in class to do it, there can be an actual discussion. You do what you can with what you’ve got. [/quote]
