Reaction to Criticial Encounters

I also enjoyed reading this book as well. I thought it was a good insight into the different theories and criticisms and how to go about teaching them in the classroom. I think the most beneficial part to this book is the lessons we read about by specific teachers and how they worked or didn't work, and also the appendixes in the back of the book with different activities. I also think this book would be completely different if it didn't include the conclusion, or the conclusion was different, as i have said before. Connecting all this stuff to the real world i think is a huge help to students, especially those that struggle with looking at something through a specific lens. Out of the three books, however, i liked this one the least. It just seemed a little repetitive, but also vital to have to read as a going to be teacher. I think Appleman could have done without A LOT of the responses that students gave to things and still would have gotten the same point across. But, i am not saying that i didn't like this book. I found it informative and useful for my future career. I just didn't enjoy reading it, like i did the others.
