However, even though the wealthy may have more background knowledge, I do think the less privileged usually have more life experience; in regards to hardship and relating to characters who are going through a difficult time/situation. <br /><br />Honestly, I think this practice is more beneficial for those who are not wealthy because it has children observe, feel, and talk about their own experiences. So children are not expected to have the same background knowledge, just to have experiences and feelings.Maylliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07948531091930475319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214534136373791114.post-53031729195569545162014-11-11T16:50:20.423-08:002014-11-11T16:50:20.423-08:00There is a push back against the personal response...There is a push back against the personal response to texts. The idea is personal responses favor the wealthy who may have more background knowledge.<br /><br />Yet the idea that we can force the meaning of a text to reside only in its four corners seems silly.<br /><br />Literature is about experience, a shared experience. We have to all actively engage with the text in a shared experience. We have to choose texts that are meaningful in the overall human experience.<br /><br />Great use of different elements such as the headings, lists and embed tools. jgmac1106https://www.blogger.com/profile/07793926292155541089noreply@blogger.com
