I have read this thread in total bewilderment. How does teaching HOTS
prevent you from having a creative dialogue with your students? I honestly
don't see the connection at all. Having to teach a HOTS along with a poem
does add another dimension, but it doesn't mean that you can't be creative
or talk about the literature or do any of the things you've been doing all
along.
I have taken the HOTS course and I, too, had to work with those two poems.
To be honest, I didn't particularly like either and I probably wouldn't
teach them, but I don't have to, nor do I have to teach any other specific
piece of literature.
I didn't completely understand the original letter, nor have I understood
most of the replies, but maybe my brain is just fried from marking too many
Bagrut exams, so if someone would like to clearly explain what the problem
is (not ALL the problems with the HOTS literature program, but the problems
that were related to in the original post), I'm listening.
