The Disconnected Writer: Drops of Jupiter?

Drops of Jupiter?Try to teach students how to write, interpret poetry, critique a novel, or try a study and you are likely to get "This is easy" as a response. Ask them to analyze pop music and now it's a great class! Why exactly is that? I don't go for sure, but I suppose that many students today but want to see what they already know, or take more about about what they already like.

The Disconnected Writer: Drops of Jupiter?

Drops of Jupiter?Try to instruct students how to write, interpret poetry, critique a novel, or examine a work and you are probably to get "This is slow" as a response.

I don't live for sure, but I conjecture that many students today only need to see what they already know, or learn more about about what they already like.
