Hi all!
Being totally immersed in LOGS and preparations for turning in the final 
grades for them has set me thinking or perhaps dreaming. Would it be 
possible to teach the literature modal in all schools only in the eleventh 
grade? If the program  could be revised a bit to make this proposal doable, 
there could be some advantages.

First of all, neither teachers nor students would feel that there was too 
much emphasis on literature and not enough time for "teaching."  Although I 
feel that the literature program is essential and genunine teaching, it has 
begun to cast too giant a shadow. We would know that for that for year, 
literature is our mission.  Stronger students could take the E/C in 10th 
grade.  Weaker ones could take both E and G/C and E in winter and summer of 
12th grade. Teachers could devote the proper amount of time and effort as 
they would not being doing the LOGS for more than one class. Those teaching 
for the test would not have to encourage cramming and other shortcuts in 
12th grade for materials learned over  three years.
There would be no reason not to use literary texts in 10th or 12th grades 
when apporpiate and in whatever way suits our classes or the materials we 
are working with..

What do you think? Does this make sense or sound off the wall? Comments 
welcome!
