Instructional Models: Strategies for Teaching in a Diverse Society Book

I've been toying with using literary theory in my classes as a framework for students developing their own questions for discussion, and I found that the theoretical pieces she quoted were very clear and will be useful as I think about how I'll reteach some elements next year. I also really appreciated the chapter on creation myths and hero's journey that have helped me begin to rethink how I approach teaching The Odyssey and various creation myths. I would like to see more on feminist and Marxist critiques in her style, but I understand that in the year that she was gathering student work for this book, it seemed that she ran out of time. (Don't we all run out of time? So much to do and so little time.) I'd also like to see how some of these ideas could be differentiated more in future teacher-research, since it seemed like this class was pretty vocal, in a good way, in general.

Overall, I think this was a useful and reader-friendly introduction to ways in which literary theory can be adopted into a curriculum.
