      High School Reading as an Act of Meaningful Aggression

      Sep 19, 2017

      I want my students to see reading as something combative, vulgar, assertive—a constant back-and-forth between reading and rereading, moments of stepping outside the text then coming back and battering at it with questions. Something better done in a
