Dear students,
As your teacher, I try to model successful practices as often as possible. You've seen this mostly through writing samples, or the way in which I think through concepts.Today I'd like to model something completely different: being reflective.
So, while I'm not trashing the game plan (far from it!), I'm introducing a variable that I initially had intense reservations about: letting you take home the books.
Giving you time to read the book on your own opens the door to temptation, and it's possible that instead of engaging in a close, collaborative study of the mystery, you only gain a cheap thrill. And then there are a few of you that will, unfortunately, choose not to read.
So please honor the contracts. It's the only way I see
