Telling Stories about Stories.
Trimmer, Joseph F.
Teaching English in the Two-Year College, v17 n3 p157-63 Oct 1990
Describes class discussions in an undergraduate English fiction class. Draws a parallel between students' reactions to reading material and the instructor's own responses to fiction as an undergraduate. Suggests that a literature teacher can depart from the usual role of telling students how they must read a given story. (SG)
