[etni] lterature or HOTS

I would like to express my appreciation of the beautiful letter by Esther 
Pessin, which appeared in ETNI Digest on March,11. I absolutely agree with what 
she says :
"I donâ??t think there is a need for â??namingâ?? or labeling HOTS in
teaching literature.  The HOTS should have been explicitly taught in
elementary school, internalized and then applied as a natural part of
any literature discussion in high school."
Although the ultimate goal of teaching literature seems to be encouraging our 
students to see literature as part of their lives, both intellectually and 
emotionally, great care should be taken not to ruin their perception of 
literary art by reducing reading to technical issues. 
                                                    
                               Best, Sima.
