A the other 8th grade reading teacher and I are reading the same books in our classes, but he goes through his books much quicker than I do. I do all sorts of activities with my students that he doesn't do. He gives quizzes and tests, but just reads reads reads. He spent about 3 weeks reading The Outsiders and I spent about 7 or so. How long is too long to spend reading a novel? I think my activities help make connections and understand the book better. He thinks the questions/quizzes get the same point across. What do you all think?
