You may remember that when we initially discussed the syllabus, I mentioned that I had included Schulte's "The Case of the Purloined Paper" in the coursepack, but hadn't assigned it to any particular week.
I included this article because I think that, for those of you who will be teaching literature, it is important to discuss and think critically about how the availability of on-line reviews, papers, etc. might be shaping students' willingness and even ability to develop their own responses to literature.
I'm curious to hear people's responses to the article: Have you seen this as a problem? Have you seen teachers who have found creative responses to encourage students to do their own writing and/or use outside resources appropriately?
