Chapter 3: Avoiding the Tsunami: Carol Robinson

English teachers have a huge responsibility and challenge. They can no longer teach as they were taught. Former students were made to disect and view literature under a microscope. Gallagher recommends present day teachers to guide students through the first 1/2 of a book. Then teachers should let the students finish the journey independently. She suggests to follow the quick reading of each book with updated and relevant articles. A teacher's purpose is to provide credible and enjoyable literature that includes a dress rehearsal for the real life after high school.
