Reflection #2

I do believe that reading books in school something makes you hate reading, and makes you not want to read outside of school. I feel the reason is that all the work and questions that goes along with the reading I feel that instead of reading to get inspired, learn about a different perspective and just enjoying an entertaining story we end up looking for answers to questions. I think our reading too focused on finding quotes and writing essays. Also the fact that we don’t get to interpret things the way we want to, it seems sometimes we can interpret the book as long as it’s the interpretation the textbooks or curriculum. I feel there should be more freedom to interpret as long as we can back it up with details from the reading. Another reason that I feel reading in school makes us dislike reading it because we don’t really get to choose what we want to read, im fine with reading the classics but I think we should get to choose a few books we want to read. When you choose the books you read you should enjoy it more because you pick a book about a subject you like. I feel ways we can improve reading in school is have a chance to interpret for yourself, let students choose books, and less questions more focus one the story and try to learn something from the text.
