The Entire Curriculum in an Hour: A Radical Proposal from the Past.
Donlan, Dan
English Journal, v79 n6 p32-36 Oct 1990
Describes a teaching approach successful with 1960s at-risk students, in which literature was carefully selected for readability, interest, brevity, and literary quality. Notes that all activities were literature-based and that discussion was short and text focused. Explains that each lesson was a miniature language arts curriculum and that evaluation was flexible.
