Get Real: Violence in Popular Culture and in English Class.
Holmes, Marsha Lee
English Journal, v89 n5 p104-10 May 2000
Argues that English teachers should open classroom doors to the world's violence in order to examine, interpret, and reduce it, focusing critical inquiry on the subject of violence. Describes how, in the author's English classroom, the study of violence in popular culture compels critical inquiry as students research what they know about violence in popular culture. (SR)
