How Porcupines Make Love: Notes on a Response-Centered Curriculum.
Purvis, Alan C., Ed.
These "notes on a response-centered curriculum" specify four objectives of an English program in the schools. In the program an individual is to trust himself; get to know himself; recognize his differences from others; and recognize his similarity with others. After an overview of the response-centered English curriculum, chapters are devoted to: (1) the structure of the classroom, (2) means of furthering classroom discussion, (3) ways of approaching films and other moving media, (4) student expression through visual (graphic) symbols, (5) ways of using classroom drama to enhance literature, (6) assignments which stimulate student writing, and (7) evaluation methods suited to the response-centered curriculum. A bibliography is included. (Author/DD)
