Please contribute more and stop lurking.
You brought up some excellent points. We're teaching a generation that
rarely reads books in the native tongue, so we have to make the book
reports less like punishment, or we're defeating their real purpose, which
is to encourage reading English. Or are we only teaching for a good grade?
