chapter 4

I agree with the chapter in the sense that the way we respond to literature depends on our schema about the concepts in the book. The more schema we have the better response we will have to the book, and cause us to read more literature like it. I think this is an important issue that we as future teachers need to take into consideration when we introduce any type of literature to our students. If the students don't have the schema to understand or make sense of a certain work the teacher should hold discussions as a class to build it up and give the students some type of exposure so they can make connections or at least learn something from what they read. The subject of efferent and aesthetic reading is also an important issue, i think that efferent reading is pushed strongly in the classroom and makes it a chore to the students. The classroom should foster the idea that we should read for personal enjoyment and not put so much emphasis on testing whether you read the book or not and writing book reports.
