[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]English teachers should focus class discussions on the literature being studied in class. Ask students to discuss/present on books' themes, thoughts on characters. Teachers should not be leading the class into open-ended personal topics. [/quote] Learning to write persuasive and argumentative essays and analyze persuasive and argumentative essays is a key skill in English classes. Book reports and analytical essays are only one part of English. [/quote] You can do those on topics raised in the literature or select non-political topics. One of the ill downstream effects of Lucy Calkins' writers' workshop is that writing increasingly centers on a student's life or thoughts which lends itself to overly personalized class discussions.[/quote]
