Dear All,
Leaving aside the arguments of HOTS in our Literature classes and referring to
the book series Literature and Thinking (mentioned by Adele), I personally
found this collection to be quite interesting. Studying literature texts
surrounding a specific theme, approaching the texts with specific questions in
mind, bringing in the history is quite nice. And while some may argue they are
and have been doing this anyway (as do/have I) - how nice to have a textbook
that has it all there. I would much prefer to have this series as our textbooks
rather than looking at one unseen after another. I don't know about you, but I
would love to teach World History or Social Studies as part of the English
curriculum - just think of what interesting texts we could read, literature,
writing, projects, and best of all - give Israeli students exposure to world
history that they won't otherwise get.
Awaiting your hate mail,Louise :)
