INQUIRY AND THE LITERARY TEXT

Edited by James Holden and John S. Schmit. This collection will help teachers make the most of student discussion in secondary and even college-level classrooms. The contributors offer theory-grounded, classroom-tested approaches for literature study in which students engage in democratic dialogue and practice authentic, collaborative inquiry. The book opens with a primer on discussion-based classes (seminars) and inquiry-based instruction. Then three main sections touch on 1) specific, practical approaches, 2) structuring a course around inquiry, and 3) assessment strategies. Annotated bibliography. NCTE. 189 pages. ©2002.
