I teach a remedial reading course at a community college - we spend a whole week just learning to understand and recognize comparison and contrast. So you won't get much sympathy from me on this one. <BR/><BR/>;-)<BR/><BR/>I gave my final exam tonight and won't have the courage to look at them until the weekend.<BR/><BR/>It must be something to teach literature. When I was teaching Spanish I couldn't wait until I had *paid my dues* with the beginner's level courses and would be able to teach *the good stuff*.<BR/><BR/>I like to include a novel in the course I teach now and really enjoy the class discussions and am awed by the insights of some of my students, most of whom would be thought of as non-readers. They do need help with learning how to talk about books and would be flabbergasted with a compare/contrast question without our spending lots of time doing Venn diagrams to illustrate how to approach it.LauraHinNJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08329387562570495570noreply@blogger.com
