Literature/Reading 2

Reflection: This is an example of what I don't want to teach in my classroom. Don't get me wrong William Faulkner is a brilliant author, but his stories are always so slow and frankly a little boring. Having a whole week of class that talked about Faulkner and reading his work felt like the longest time and the slowest week ever. I don't want students to fall out of love with reading because we spend too much time on one author or one book that they don't like the sort of like I did during this class. It's easy for kids to despise reading easily because of the boring slow books and I want my students to think differently.
