Responding To Literature: Depending on the person who is reading the literature is going to depend how they are influenced by it. I can see why it's going to be so important to assess my students constantly. I'm going to need to be aware of their develpement and help them expand on the progress they are making or help them if I see no progress at all. I read the generalizations on pg 62 and I thought they were decent assessements. Again as Mrs. Pickett would say, "give your students choices" I think that the art of listening has been lost with some teachers. I believe that is unfortunate. I think that engaging their interest would be a benefit to everyone. We need to remember we are in the classroom to help the children learn not for an ego boost. Again I agree that students will respond based on their unique backgrounds...I found it interesting how two different types of children in different parts of the world can view a Dick, Jane, Sally, and Spot books. I like Rosenblatt's theory on literature and agree that the readers do take an active part in literature based on their view of the world. Efferent and Aesthetic response. I believe that when we read we do both.
