Students often balk at the difficult syntax, unfamiliar settings, and descriptive passages. Length alone keeps some books out of the curriculum. For a teacher to persist - sometimes coaxing, sometimes driving - requires an act of will. In \u003ci\u003eClassics in the Classroom\u003c\/i\u003e Carol Jago provides practical ideas for making these challenging texts come alive for contemporary students. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Continuing in the tradition of her popular book \u003ci\u003eWith Rigor for All\u003c\/i\u003e, Jago argues that all students, not just those enrolled in honors classes, deserve to read great literature. To make this happen requires artfully crafted lessons that address specific textual challenges.

What advice would you give to teachers that feel they must teach to the test? Some teachers feel if they don't assess the way their students are assessed on state exams they are not adequately preparing them. What would you say to those teachers?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eTeaching to the test is a waste of time. Long term, it doesn't take. The new Common Core assessments are going to include performance tasks that will require students to read and write extensively. I'm hoping this will help send the message that preparing students for the occasional high stakes moments is best accomplished by teaching them authentically to read and write well. And don't forget listening and speaking  If I were in charge of the world, every child would participate regularly in Socratic seminars -- critical thinking about critical texts, K-12.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuestion 2: \u003c\/strong\u003e What do you think is the most important thing for teachers to understand or embrace as they move forward with implementing the Common Core State Standards?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe most important thing for teachers to understand about the Common Core is that it is a clarion call to accelerate learning in our classrooms. More is more when it comes to reading and writing. At the moment there is still too much filling out of worksheets going on in classrooms. Just calling the page a graphic organizer doesn't make it less of a fill-in-the-blanks task.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e How to include nonfiction along with literature?
