Synopsis
Is our nation's educational system faltering in part because it strives to teach students predetermined "right" answers to questions? In Turning the Soul , Sophie Haroutunian-Gordon offers and alternative to methods advocated by conventional educational practice. By guiding the reader back and forth between two high school classes discussing Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet , she gracefully introduces the alternative approach to education: interpretive discussion. One class, located in a private, racially integrated urban school, has had many conversations about the meaning of books. The second group, less advantaged students in a largely black urban school, has not. The reader watches as students in each group begin to draw upon experiences in their personal lives to speculate about events in the play. The students assist one another with the interpretation of complex passages, pose queries that help sustain the conversation, and struggle to "get Shakespeare right." Though the teachers suffer moments of intense frustration, they are rewarded by seeing their students learn to engage in meaningful exchange. Because Turning the Soul draws on actual classroom conversations, it presents the range of difficulties that one encounters in interpretive discussion. The book describes the assumptions about learning that the use of such discussion in the classroom presupposes, and it offers a theoretical perspective from which to view the changes in both students and teachers.

    Book as pictured, sufficient packaging for protective purposes, good value, reasonable shipping time. The only thing I noticed was some minor water damage and a taped area that appeared small.

    Wow! If this vendor's goal was to impress this first time buyer, then that was succeeded 100 percent! My product arrived on time earlier today and I give high marks for each recommended topic, which are quality, condition, value, and appearance! It came securely packaged and new as advertised! I look forward later to viewing my new movie, and the vendor has earned my recommendation to others who seek purchasing similar merchandise! Thanks a whole lot!

    Needed a specific issue of Mainline Modeler, and this seller had exactly what I needed. The price was right, the condition of the magazine was as described, and the magazine was well packaged and quickly shipped. I’d definitely purchase from this seller again.
