On p. 147 I underlined "rereading is the hallmark of effective genre study". I admit I get going in a genre study and I want to expose the class to a wide variety of texts. I do not take time to slow down, reread in depth an excellent example of that genre. I realize this is a strong message from the book-teach a few important concepts in depth over a long period of time. I do not consider myself a writer so it is hard for me to "mine" the work for understanding and insight. Lester Laminack has a book that shows his author craft. It gave me insight but how do I get this without the author spelling it out for me? I do not want to keep flipping from one resource to another (Mentor Texts, MOT) in order to get the most out of a text. How do others go about dwelling in the ideas in a text? How do you get students involved in the noticings?
