10-second review: What are some reasons for selecting literature to teach? “I select literature that connects to what they are learning in other classes.”

Comment: An interesting reason for choosing literature to study. Never thought of it before. Step #1: Who’s studying what in the other disciplines? As an English teacher, I never knew nor asked. Hmmmm. RayS.
