Challenging the "Cliffs Notes" Syndrome.
Karsten, Ernie
English Journal, v78 n7 p23-26 Nov 1989
Presents an approach to teaching Pierre Boulle's novella, "Face of a Hero," in which students produce their own "Cliffs Notes" for the text. Stresses the importance of using nontraditional literature, and shows how students can discover their own richer responses to literature instead of relying on study aids. (MM)
