#i didn't write 23+ pages on kafka because it was a requirement--i wrote it because my professor got me invested in it and provided support

taking a moment to add my two cents i think
#i am awake because sitting up prevents me from coughing as much it seems
#my hot take of the evening is i think that a lot of people who resent literary analysis just didn't get proper scaffolding
#when they were exposed to it
#i think a lot of people had english teachers who didn't know how to properly structure their instruction and just let kids loose
#sending them out onto the seemingly empty field of the page and then immediately lining them up in their crosshairs for judgement
#or at least my english teacher was a lot like that
#i think a lot of people perceive literary analysis as pointless frustrating right/wrong busy work
#or some kind of painful arduous endeavor that rewards nothing
#because their teachers effectively set it up to be just that
#an effective literary analysis curriculum should involve modeling and repeated practice with frequent feedback
#but i feel like so many english teachers when we were growing up just focused on lecture and then assessment
#leaving a massive gap between what skills students come in with and what's expected of them
#not only that but also i feel like the lack of relevance in literary content has a lot to do with it
#i didn't especially enjoy proper literary analysis until i had a choice in what to analyze
#and had consistent scaffolding to support the direction i wanted to go
#i didn't write 23+ pages on kafka because it was a requirement--i wrote it because my professor got me invested in it and provided support
#i think that's an issue with a lot of areas in education
#thankfully it's changing (however slowly) but god. death to the lecture -> assessment model of instruction
