After reading all the pros and cons of the HOTS thing, I still can't figure out what it is - so, could someone who has taken the course and noted that it could all be given in a couple of hours, please give one or two practical examples of how you use it - whether in literature or just plain reading (and what's the difference there anyway???). All I can figure out is that you teach the difference between a metaphor and a semaphore.
