Changing Business as Usual: Reader Response in the Classroom.
Sheridan, Daniel
College English, v53 n7 p804-14 Nov 1991
Discusses reader-response theory and forces that mitigate against a reading-centered classroom. Asserts that the issues of authority and freedom are crucial but advises against demanding too much at this stage. Focuses on current practice, and suggests beginning with the routines, the "business as usual," of the literature classroom. (PRA)
