What does this have to do with books and reading and education, you might ask (and rightfully so)? Well, see if this analogy works:
Some of us are old hands at "deconstructing" whether it be lobsters or text. Some of us have never had to do this before and are afraid. And some of us get squeamish and opt for something entirely different. How do we accommodate these differences? How do we make it so that the squeamish, the reluctant, and the practiced are able to have their responses heard? If we always have lobster are we locking some out? If we insist that everyone be practiced before they can "eat," does this negate the experience? And what do we do with those who are already skilled?
Is this not the challenge we face in our classrooms each and every day? How are we dealing with this?
Lots of questions here. Answers still being refined and developed and attempted.
