Objectifying the text
- "This session showcases the reader as the critic, as the readers step of the text to reflect on what it all means, how it works, and why. From this stance, the readers look at Alice Walker's "Revolutionary Petunias" and Langston Hughes's "Theme for English B" to examine the authors' craft, the structure of the text and its various elements, and the choice of language. Dr. Langer reminds readers of the importance of personal evaluation of the text and encourages teachers of readers to include the techniques explored here in their classrooms."
