What’s the difference?The literature-centered approach:
When Steinbeck describes the tree as having “recumbent limbs” what is the effect on the reader?
What event foreshadows Lennie’s death?
Who is to blame for the tragic deaths of Romeo and Juliet?
What’s the recurring metaphor in this poem?
Who saved Scout and Jem at the end of the novel?
What happens to Esperanza in “Red Clowns”?
The book is at the center of the curriculum

What’s the difference? The student- centered approach:
Student Inquiry (4 Unit Year)Approach: Focus is on the student and his/her inquiry process.
Why do people through the centuries write about relationships, especially those involving love and hate?Is there anything the contemporary literature shows the human race has learned about family relationships in the last ten years?What do literature and my experience suggest about deciding who is and isn’t a scholar?Compare the strategies for resolving ethical conflict employed by Mayella Ewell and Friar Lawrence.

Ok, but what’s the difference to me? Greater student choice in reading materials,
writing topics and styles. Greater variety in materials. Greater opportunity for students to be responsible
for the level of their learning. Greater opportunity for students to direct their
own learning.
