Beating the
Odds: Teaching Middle and High School Students to Read and Write Well
l Does
English Matter? By Robert Scholes: "[Books] are
being broken up, commodified, and packaged for handy consumption and
recirculation. As our Romantic faith in the spiritual value of literary
texts has waned, we have found ourselves more and more requiring knowledge
about texts instead of encouraging the direct experience of these
texts. l Are Schools Safe?
Kids Speak Out l Also read how English studies benefit
students developmentally.
