In the chapter titled "Reading the World," Gallagher discusses the importance of having students read a diverse assortment of material. Gallagher believes (as Do I) that if a student graduates with the ability to analyze a major literary work but can not understand how to use a newspaper or instruction manual he has failed as a teacher. I firmly believe in this idea; children should be socially literate. Having students read classic text will enrich their vocabulary and help them with difficult concepts in life, but we as teachers need to make sure that we are sending productive (as much as their ability allows) citizens out into the world. I am going to assign a different student everyday to read and present a newspaper article they found. At the end of the month, the class will vote on the most interesting article and then winner will recieve extra credit! Hopefully, this will show them that reading the newspaper can be interesting.
