[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an English teacher. The texts (short stories, poems, essays) that appear in textbooks don't generally appeal to my students. I get to know them and their interests and change out our readings year-to-year. Two years ago, my sophomores were really in to soccer. You bet that as often as I could, I found soccer related texts. Some I created myself! But that soccer year involved more learning [b]in a good chunk of students [/b]than would have occurred if I went with the per-selected stories.[/quote] And what about the others? I would have hated being in your class during soccer-year.[/quote] Me too! Yuck[/quote]
