Description

From the Back Cover: Reader Response in the Classroom: Evoking and Interpreting Meaning in Literature explains and demonstrates how teachers can use a reader response approach to teaching literature. Strategies for implementing reader response pedagogy in the classroom are illustrated through essays that focus on the teaching of specific literary works. Many of the essays include classroom transcripts of the reader response method in action. This edited volume is arranged in four sections: Section 1 (The Transactional Theory of Literature) explains the theory of ready response-its significant features and applications; Section 2 (Initiating Readers' Responses) and Section 3 (Developing Readers' Responses) focus on classroom processes for facilitating readers' responses; Section 4 (Exploring Differences: Gender, Race, Culture) addresses how different readers respond to texts.
