Well, the book breaks into three sections nicely.
1. Introduction through first interlude: xi-38
2. Three, interlude and four: 39-76
3. Five through Chronology: 77-112
So I guess for now I would say read the first section and we'll do no-frills reader response. Just put it up when you have the chance? By class next week? Sometime next week? It's nebulous.
From what I have read of this book I am pleasantly surprised, so don't dismay.
For the last two I think we should turn it into an in-person discussion? We can get some food and run our mouths about Carver and education.
Thoughts?
Sounds great to me. We can use the first response as a starting point for our conversations.
ReplyDeleteEssentially, I think it makes much more sense to talk about Carver's work in person.. I just feel like that is how he would want his work to be discussed. I also think it would be much easier for us to talk about our teaching plans in person. Perhaps after our discussion we can highlight some key points up on the blog.
Let's talk about availability on Monday so we can figure out a good place/time to talk. My vote is on GROVERS.
Only a few more weeks left, this blog experience has been pretty sweet and I feel like we did a great job with it. I plan on teaching Carver to my students so I'm going to try and remain a contributor. What do you guys think about turning out blog into a place where we, along with other teachers maybe, can share their approaches to Carver? Just some food for thought.
